but cost a fortune. I use Wessex leather Trimmer in Southampton ... very good indeed and half the price

Seconded, Liquid Leather worked well for my Crema 360 seats a few years ago.

Not convinced by reports of Gliptone Liquid Leather performing miracles - even with multiple applications...

Have tried it on my 2002 Porsche leather a number of times and have never been blown away. I don't even it produces a particulary nice smell either...

Earlier this summer I rather stupidly left my car out in the rain top down and the seats got quite wet. I had hoped that this stuff would finally come into its own but as the seats dried out, the leather has stiffend-up in places and no amount of this product has made any discernable difference... A retrim will be the ultimate solution...

Swissvax leather cleaner + milk. The cleaner comes in 2 strengths, with one for older leather that has not been touched in years.
Just done the Range Rover, and boy does the milk smell good.

Alternatively give Polished Bliss a ring for some professional advice.

Gary Hubbard is a memner here, I think. He certainly has plenty of Porsche experience, as does Vaughan Whatshisname, also in Loughborough.

HI

Had my whole interia re done by a guy in Malden Essex
He charged £800.00 but done a perfect job.
The only drawback is it took hom 6 months to complete.

If you are interested I can dig out his number for you.
