Hi Chaps,

I have a motorsport cab with white lotus leather, and to be honest it could do with a bit of a clean,

is there any companies out there that could do this?

clean all the dirt and grime that has built up over the years?

I had my previous motorsport recolonised but did not really like the finish it left, a bit plastic feel to it!

unless there is somehting that can be used after recolonisation to give it a proper leather feel again?

any help appreciated

thanks

gliptone sell an excellent cleaner but if it need more ask them for their scuffmaster kit which includes a dye (you have to send a sample ) which lets the old texture come through..lots of people have used it on here

gliptone cleaner good, conditioner no better than others, has made my leathe patchy with blotches, not soaked into leathe fully, even after 5 coats
