Tidying up leather?

C-Rex · #1 08-16-2005, 04:20 PM

Lads any of ye know of anything to treat the leather on the vtec seats?
At the moment there are no rips or tears but they could do with a clean up, the leather is kinda contracting and the leather has brownish lines going through it.
So is there anything to re-hydrate the leather and re-blacken the lines?

Thanks

A scrub down with special shampoo for leather may be best

Not sure how much the shampoo cost's though.

first off, It's not leather - it's Vinyl... good quality Vinyl. but vinyl all the same...have you got full or half "leather"?

Autoglym leather and vinyl conditioner is good stuff and will protect it, but probably won't get any serious stains out.

I was going to get stuff called Vinylkote (http://www.kolorbond.ltd.uk/otherproducts.htm) from woolies-trim.co.uk. It's vinyl dye, so it doesn't wash off or wear. Including cleaner and prep stuff to prepare the seats it came to £40 sterling. They don't do color matching but the Black is probably a good match for the black "leather".

@marty-would that not leave a very sticky aftermath on the seat and a honey smell?
