Hi all

I am buying a full sport leather interior in black. It is not ripped or burnt anywhere and includes rear headrests.

It does however have some cracks to the side bolsters of the drivers side and some possible light colour fade on the rear of the rear headrests. I guess this is due to them facing the sun.

What's the best product to bring them up like new again? I have looked in Classic & Sports Car and there's a couple of sites that do stuff for tired leathers. See www.liquidleather.com and another product called Gliptone Leathercare UK (no website).

Any recommendations?

Cheers

just done exactly the same thing and have found it easy to use and effective
Ԛ£25 kit from them should be enough but they want you to send a piece of leather to match it up properly. you dont need to hurry as i found it takes a couple of days to dry properly :D
