I had responded to previous posts about redoing seats. I decided to get my back ones done today so have added pics.

Not quite finished yet but nearly there. Took me about 2 hours to strip whatever was on there before, wash properly and colour.

I will do another coat tomorrow and then condition with leather cream.

Thanks for sorting the pics Adi, I thought you could view them by clicking the links?

The process is below;

1. Deep Clean - let dry fully, I use a hairdryer to speed up the process.

2. Gentle Clean - let dry fully

3. Condition - let soak in a minimum of 24 hrs do again if required, this is the most important step in my opinion as it gets the leather soft and gets rid of surface cracks.

4. Apply Scuffmaster - let dry fully, for best results use a spray gun hobby size compressor is fine

My cabby seats are in a similar condition to above, I'm going to give this a try in the summer.
