got my Ebay black leather seats delivered yesterday. Were decribed as needing good clean but no rips / holes. They do need a good clean and the only holes ares tiny and hidden. The leather is very dry and in need of a good feed. BUT they started life beige. They must have been painted or dyeds at some point. Its done well - you can only see on the bottom (where they haven't been painted at all) or where they've been scuffed, presumebly out of the car (or in the accident that killed it).
I'll call the bloke tommorow but assume he won't be too helpful.
my question is how should I proceed? Should i try to find some more of the same product for the scuffs? Does this stuff work or will it all wear off in a month? Should I cut my losses and start looking for another black set? Will feeding the leather work, despite it being recoloured?
Bit peed off at mo.

Email John @

He'll get back quick. He'll also reconnolise the trim if you wish, which in effect is the same as using liquid leather on them ;)
