Carpro Products are my fav! Their Hydro2 combined with their "Reload" detailing spray is a killer combo.

True. Hard to say if the leather shrinking back to size was due to the Leatherique or the hot wash cloth treatment.

I did consider the trash bag method, but opted against it, mainly because I didn't think it was necessary. I live in the hot, humid south, and it was triple digits all weekend and the car sat out in the sun the entire time the Leatherique was applied. Next time I'll try the bag method and see if it makes a difference.
