Recommended leather cleaners/repairers/general experts

[Mr Whippy]

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend someone to have a look/repair some small marks on my red leather seats in the car, from small nicks, to a weird textured area (looks like a chemical has spilt on it or something, but still coloured fine), and some stubborn dark spot like stains.

I think it's beyond the usual gliptone clean/condition, and more into someone who works with this stuff day in and day out to sort it effectively

try saddle soap first to remove marks then see state of seats.
I have used it for years and it really works, also on sofa at home. If you know horsy types they spend fortunes on saddles so its a good product.

Drop me a line if you want more info

tybo on here, I think he does something along those lines?

I'll give the saddle soap a go then, see what happens.

I had budgeted a bit to have them seen to by a professional to get the best from them, so it's just finding the best person around to do that.

Just a few little nicks that might be able to be made better (very small), and some odd things that look like big tar spots but just don't want to seem to shift (maybe it's cig burn marks, but I don't think they would be black!?), and then some odd looking leather (texture gone a bit weird like it got wet and wasn't dried for a while?!) than might be best replaced (small bit over the headrest)

And/or then I can also discuss how much just to get them turned black (if that is even possible)

I think I'll take a few pics of the trouble areas tomorrow, then hopefully people can give me more specific advice (might ask on that detailing world forum too, but it's more leather experts I think I need than cleaning experts )


Hmmmm, will maybe give Tybo a pestering too
