Yup, that's the stuff. Made by Connelley (sp?) who provide hides for many
luxury cars. I used it after saddle soap on my 87 5ktqw seats and it worked
great. Lexol also works well. A word of caution, the stitching in leather
Audi seats can easily rot and fail from overuse of leather conditioning
products combined with lack of cleaning. Try to avoid the stiching areas when
using these products, and clean the stiching well of excess. I have seen Hide
Food at Porsche/Audi dealers, auto parts stores, etc...not hard to find. HTH
