I renewed my carpets recently and I am still unsure whether I like the colour or not!! I have dark blue and Portland grey on the leather- vinyl and now have Wedgewood blue carpets. Originally the carpets were dark blue and I thought the interior looked too dark. I am now thinking of dyeing the leather and vinyl all Portland grey. Maybe the best thing to do is dye the new carpets instead. Are there any products I can use if I go down the leather- vinyl route that people have used and trust? same with carpets please?

Hi Gary,

Thinking of refreshing my seats as well as the drivers bolster is showing quite a bit of wear.
Did a search and a link is here;
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
There are quite a few other threads on the topic as well.

The general opinion seems to use furniture clinic products as they will do both the leather and vinyl with the same products.

Will have to catch up some time soon and compare notes. Just had mine fully de-catted and sounds awesome now!

If you don't fancy doing them yourself there is also a guy over in Newport who will do it for you at a very reasonable cost, happy to send a link if you want.
