Leather Upholstery: Cleaning/Restoration

[cmonyousaddlers]

Appreciate any hints/tips on cleaning and restoring products for leather seats (not MB-Tex).

Currently using good quality natural beeswax polish and although the seats have a healthy if wrinkled look (like me?)I'd like to consider blue colour dye too to restore the seats to original colour? (Don't like the idea of applying the 'scuff' cover shoe polish that's been suggested given that you have to sit on the seats!!)

Any experience out there?


PS As a result of changing the seats, now have surplus rear seat and passenger seat which are in good serviceable condition, plus a driver's seat chassis minus the cover, all in the blue check velour, which I'm about to put on ebay if the digipics come out.

I've heard very positive comments about Leatherique products.

Also, this site is worth a look - http://www.liquidleather.com/. I just bought some of their colour-matched dye to touch up some scuffs in my 107, but I've not used it yet so cannot vouch for it.

Hi

Have you used this leather kit yet? I would like to know if it is any good, and does the colour match..

No, not got round to it yet - but will try to have a go next weekend, weather permitting. I'll let you know.
