+1 for ColorPlus. I am sure Leatherique is the pretty much the same. On my daily driver 993 (which means I get in and out of the car 5-10 times a day), the ColorPlus has held up for 6 years.
I also did a color chage from blue to black. And even in its worn areas like the bolster, the blue didn't even show up. The butt pad is worn down to a smooth shinny finish, but the dye did not break or peel.
If yours are peeling, then it was not put on properly. This stuff is like paint, as I understand it, it is latex paint. So sanding, degreasing, and prepping is MOST important.
BTW, my seats have originally had cracks in the leather from wear. I applied the dye over it, and it took 6 years of daily driving to wear down the dye to show the cracks again.
I still have some leftover ColorPlus sitting around when I redye originally. Just redid the driver seat. Didn't come out as great since I skipped the final finish using the a spray.
Overall, VERY happy with colorplus!!
