I've been told the best thing for leather seats, is brake cleaner

But this is used when you want the seats to look dull, especially in esc cos's when they go shiney with more miles etc

Physio

I need to make them look shiny so that's out the question

What colours blick?

RichardPON

South African Black.

Physio

Black

Chopster, I was thinking boot polish too but I'm too scared to try it

lukemakepeace

i'm noy joking but back to black is the best thing for it ever. i used it on an off black color and it came up really nice. aslong as the original leather colour is dark back to blak is the thing.

Physio

Back to black? As in the stuff you use on plastic bumpers etc?

Surely that wont cover up faded leather?

Less.

saddle soap

Colour it in with a blick permanent marker pen

Physio

That thought had crossed my mind but it WILL dry to a dull finish

Less - saddle soap? As in soap for a horse's saddle?

Physio

Physio

1) Back to black

2) Marker Pen

shoe polish works

foreigneRS

i bought some at the weekend from the bike show for my leathers. seems to work at treat and has good reviews. it is mostly beeswax though, and you can get that from any supermarket

Paddy

Cheapest, quickest fix is that shoe polish in the squeezy bottle with the foam applicator bit on the end.

There's better, more permanent fixes but if you're selling the car who wants to spend more than Ł2 on something other people will enjoy and probably not even notice?

Physio

Paddy

I've just tried some shoe polish on it & it seems to have covered it up but it looks dull, I'll buff it up in a bit

Nick - I have some beeswax here somewhere

i use shoe polish.
called meltonian shoe cream (spelling) made by woly. its available in allsorts of colours including various shades of grey/black.
try an old school shoe repairs shop not any of the high street chains.
was recommended to me by a m8 who has been in the car/automotive trimming business for years & does the job

Physio

Cheers for the replies people

lol, as Paddy says that spray shoe stuff with the buffer on the end always seems the best fix

drive to mine then!

I'll let you drive a FAST Porsche as well then....

Boxster is the better car though in my opinion.

What you getting next mate?

Physio

Cheers for the offer Lee

I'm not what to get yet mate, tbh I really miss my evo so perhaps another one of those?

lol at the thought of you noticing black shoe polish on the prospective buyers shirt at some point after the test drive
