Leather Renovation Fetish!

[mikeb]

Has anybody tried renovating their leather in their wedge (seats, trim etc)??.

The drivers side seat on my 350i has become a little cracked and worn looking. It looks like somebody has had a go at 'renovating' the leather some time ago with some kind of leather dye or paint type stuff.

I was thinking of getting hold of some of Woolies Leather renovation gear and having a go to try and improve the seats myself.

It looks like you send off a sample of the leather in question, they have a go at colour matching some kind of dye and you apply it to the seats and it colours the areas that have worn(???).

Has anybody used this stuff before or tried another solution (apart from a re-trim of course).

I would be very interested to hear from anybody who has.

Being a complete lazy/useless B*****d isn't there a company who will come out and restore the leather for you? Anyone?

I've used the stuff from Gliptone, they'll match a dye to a sample (I cut a bit off from under the seat) and their conditioner works well at resuscitating the leather

I'm dropping my leather for Bison on the retrim. Its looks like leather too, Guess I'll leave a bit so it gives off that leather aroma...
