Looking after leather

[FarmerPug]

ive seen on goggle pics of the seat being put back to its original colour, even seen it on wheeler dealers a man made the seats colour all the same in a roller/bently, the episode where ed had a cup of tea in his hand.

Have a watch, when I was going to get the cream leather interior for my Pug I was planning on dying it red using this method...


Also yes you can use car leather cleaning products on home leather, it's fine. I use Autoglyms leather cleaner and a nail brush.

You cannot condition leather, leather has a laqured finish and cannot absorb oils. They sit ontop of the leather and attract more dirt and dust.
This is where I get my leather kit from...

Confused by your comment as not all leather is coated,no expert but i'll bet you a pound to a penny our seats absorb a conditioner,in fact ive not come across a car that would'nt over the last 30 years plus and ive owned a few with leather........sadly there is and always was those who don't care for it and you see the results,a car that should command a higher price as it was more new with leather/prestige looks a shed because its all cracked and the bolster has gone from the driver being careless.

Infact all leather these days is laqured and as such can't absorb anything. The extra softness you feel when you condition the leather is greases left behind.

ive seen people get the colour back into their leather, usually shitty yank leather in some of the crap cars they are offered these days. And they can get the coulour back into them ok. Some companies tell you to cut a bit of the leather from under the seat send them the sample and they send you back a scuff remover kit, but at £50 it would need to work.
