I'd probably recommend a Leatherique kit for your front seats. Will hold up much better and look nicer!

the front seats on a 1g are real leather?  or are they fake?  i know the rear seats are fake leather.... but i thought the fronts were real.

Who makes and sells Leatherique?  I'm using Meguiars' Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner/conditioner.  Looks nice, smells nice, but doesnt last...

I found it on eBay. Want to order it, how long does this one last?

Did you paint your rear seats black between photos ?

On a 1g, the back seats are vinyl. Obviously.
Not so obvious... The front seats are leather, except the seat backs. Just the back panel is vinyl.

Leatherique, if done right will probably last the life of the seat. You're actually scuffing, filling, and redying the leather instead of putting a coating on it.

(not to be confused with a conditioner.... This is a dye/restoration kit!)
