Does anyone here recommend a company to restore my leather?
Its beige and its cracked a little on drivers seat. and generally could do with a nice fresh coat of dye
I tried doing it myself but i haven't got the patience with an airbrush.
thanks

How bad is it? Have you tried cleaning it properly?
If it is deep cleaned then fed with a quality restoring feed it will look totally different, the cracks are where the leather has dried out and allowed dirt in. The clean will pull the dirt out, the feed will rejuvenate the leather making it supple again allowing the cracks to close up. It won't be perfect but it will feel loads better, smell like leather again and the more you repeat the clean / feed process the better it will become.

My leather as it is now. I quite like the patina, and with regular feeding it's got it's supple feeling back. Luckily there's only one tiny nick on the base of the passenger seat, the previous owner did feed the leather but not often enough and with let's say not the best products.
I've used a kit from Furniture Clinic and it came out rather good with a colour change from cream to black. They will do this for you and I've read good things.
One thing I learned when doing mine, was just how dried out the leather is. It made a huge difference to the leather to completely strip the seats down and add some hide food/leather cream type stuff from the behind. Only feeding the front made only a small difference.
