Leather seat restore

[Tomm3]

Hi I've just bought another car and would like to freshen the leather front seats but not sure which product to use.
There are several about and I don't need any repairs done, just a re-colour and clean.
Any help appreciated, thanks

I'm interested in this, I have a leather sofa that's getting a bit careworn on one arm. No tears but the usual dried out cracked look, I've applied leather cream and it's better but I could still do with something to fill in the gaps. I've seen leather being flattened out with fine sandpaper, but I imagine tat you need a filler to fill the cracks before you do this. Any tips?

I agree, furniture clinic products are great.

Did you spray the colour with an air gun? Seems rather convoluted. Worthwhile?

No,once I'd cleaned and prepared them I applied it carefully with a brush ,didn't show brush marks.I too thought spraying was a bit ott.

There are lots of products out there to repair the seats yourself like Liquid Leather. There are lots of people who come out to repair the seats for you as well.

There are some great videos on you tube - here are a few

Most of the products seem to do a good job.

I've recently recoloured seats with the furniture clinic stuff. Looks great although longevity is yet to be tested. I did use the airbrush which works really well but you get through a lot of cans of air!!

I recently used the Gliptone Liquid Leather products on my other half's Merc SL seats.

One part is a cleaner which certainly gave the seats a good clean, the next step was a leather moisturiser which definitely improved them. Would recommend giving it a go.

Interesting, I wonder if this is suitable for changing the colour of an interior or just for restoring pigmentation to similar coloured leather?
