this stuff is great, but brush it on (although it says not to) with a good quality horse hair brush, makes the seats look new!

Thanks Retroracing - will give it a try. Might even use it on my handbags aswell.

it would certainly work, as its increadibly flexible stuff and wont crack.
... forgot to say as well as having to be quite patient with it, if you have coloured piping its worth covering it with masking tape as its a bit of a pain to get off afterwards if you accidentaly get some on it! Good luck

Gliptone products are good are good for cleaning / restoring leather.

Lovely Turbo by the way you should put a thread up in readers rides, i'm sure others would like to see more pics / details.

Do NOT put any Gliptone product anywhere near your leather, it may be highly recommended by some people but I can assure you it leaves a very strong smell which is nothing like leather. The reason I know this? I used it about 2 years ago and after having the car's interior cleaned on numerious occasions since you can still smell it, biggest mistake I ever made with my car, if you search the forums you will find others with the same experience. It seems to be OK with some cars but not Porsche leather.

LTT Solutions provide some wonderful cleaning and protection products for today's treated car interiors. Just remember leather is skin, although coated, but it does need deep cleaning and the protection re applied, no need to condition any more.

Oh dear, doesnt sound like it was much good for you at all. Many threads on, dare I say it, 'detailing world', rate Gliptone products highly.
