Default Cleaning up leather & getting colour back....

What is best to clear up leather interior with? (I heard baby wipes are good?)

And also what's best to get the black colour back where the leather has worn through a bit?


Cheers

use autoglym leather cleaner then find a 100% leather feed and it will bring the colour back and stop the cracking

On the bits where the leather has gone, don't go out and buy expensive stuff, just use ordinary shoe polish

Doesnt it rub off on your clothes at all?
Nah, definately the best stuff to use. You just buff it in until it doenst stain the cloth, then you know it wont come off on your clothes.

Can hide a multitude.
