Would the seat heaters and maybe blasting the AC on max hot for a while every couple hours be enough heat you think? Or should I wait? |
Personally, I would wait. You need a 90+ degree day where you can really bake the car. That and while covering the seats you'll get max potential out of the product.

You could wait, and do a more simple cleaning with damp (not wet) cloth and then something like Spinneybeck cleaner/preserver. Cleaning every 2 weeks/month with a damp cloth is key to keeping things looking good and keeping dust/dirt from working into the leather (and causing wear).
Then again, if the leather is in need of some good conditioning, now is better than later. Do it now, and again next May when there is more heat. Unless you live in SF, in which case you'll just have to pick a day with as little fog as possible.

I personally use the Prestine Clean to general keep-up. You don't use nearly as much per application of the Oil, and it helps keep everything in perfect condition.
