Hi There

The leather in my 1989 sport is looking a bit tired, no cracks or rips, tears, etc, but just a bit lifeless :(

So I thought I would get some restoration cream, but there is so many on the market, oil/water based leathers, etc.

Can anyone recommend a product to bring the leather back to life? 8)

The leather is factory fit so its now 15years old 8O

Cheers

Al

http://www.liquidleather.com/ Slap some of this on your leathers ( :gay: )
Seriously tho I use it on mine and it comes out a treat, a little bit expensive but its worth the Ԛ£ if you give it a bit of time and effort!
They also sell off ebay too.

hiya. Try 'Woolies' website. They sell trim etc. For Ԛ£50, you can get a whole kit that will properly clean, re-dye and seal your leather. Used it 3 different times now, and it always gives leather the wow factor back, and also the smell!! Without a doubt, it will transform your car. Takes about a w/e to do the job properly, but worth it....

Not that 'woolies' dude!

Try here.....Woolies

A trick they use in the classic car trade to bring back that 'new leather smell' is to get a small piece of leather fresh from the tannery (about A4 size) and fix it to the underside of the front seats.

New leather smell instantly!
