A heads up for those of you with worn Leather seats, a product that might Help

[DodgyRog]

Just thought I would share something I found a while ago and improves the look of my Leather front seats massively

 

Most of these seats are showing signs of wear and tear now and this product not only helps maintain the suppleness of the leather, it also has dye in it, so helps cover up the wear and scuff marks

 

I am sure there are other products out there that do the same thing, but this is the one I have used. I tend to use it twice a year (unless someone scuffs the seat with studs in their jeans:p)

 

Anyway it's called GRISON BLACK LEATHER DYE COLOUR RESTORER BALM, available in other colours as well if you need it

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grison-Leather-Restoration-Colour-Polish-Cream-Black-300ml-Seat-Buff-Clean-Renew-/280744264938?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item415da984ea

 

I have no tie in to this product, just thought I would share with everyone, as it took me a while to find something I thought I would risk trying and you can do both seats in 1/2 an hour, it's really easy to use

 

Hope this helps someone:d

Make sure your seats are really clean first

 

Then just use 2 clean cloths, 1 to apply it and 1 to clean it off

 

I tend to do half the seat at a time, so do the whole of the base, then polish it off then the back, then repeat for the other seat

 

If you have a particular area that is bad (like the bolster) then you might need to do it a few times to get it back to Black

 

Once you have done it the first time, just do it now and again and that way you don't need to do the bad areas with a few coats

Just changed the link, as I didn't get mine from the first Ebay link

 

It's exactly the same product anyway

cool cheers. Ive been meaning to getting round to doing something about the seats as i got leather wipes a while ago and didnt like them. They obviously didnt do anything about some wear and a scratch i caused from my jeans whilst shimmying out after parking. its like the supra shuffle trying to get out at times and avoid hitting the door off something and trying to reduce the wear on the bolster by not brushing against it too hard. I tend to put my rght foot out and right hand on the kick plate and lift myself out to avoid it. I wonder what having a normal car would be like without having to be so caring of it! lol

Cheers for the heads up. I've ordered some for mine too.

Black Kiwi shoe polish and a few drops of olive oil does mine....you want supple and black? Look no further.

[DodgyRog]

I thought about using shoe polish before I found this stuff, but it has a habit of rubbing off on clothes and not lasting that long, well if my shoes are anything to go by

[Colin-mkiv]

Yeah, the olive oil breaks the polish down and helps it to absorb into the skin....then you buff it up and put leather cream on it and its as good as new and wont come off
