DIY leather refurb system

[pezzzer]

I bought a leather refurb system off eBay some years ago to have a go at my first X Type steering wheel which was showing heavy signs if wear and it was excellent, but for the life of me cant remember what it was called.

 

I now find myself needing to freshen up some signs of wear on the drivers seat, anyone got any experiences of products that they've been happy with?

Autoglym and Mer are both quite good, Kevin.

I like Autoglym products very much Peter, and have a number of there products. Just an aside our local Halfords were doing 3 for 2 on all cleaning products last weekend, don't know if was nation wide or restricted to our local branch.

 

Do they have the colour variants Peter?

I think that you might have to go to Jaguar for the colour variants, Kevin.

 

I will ask someone I know who runs an Auto Accessory shop.

 

Curiously, I have just the owner of an accessory shop who says that colour variants are not on general sale and you would have to go to the manufacturer or to a leather expert.

 

I will look around as I have a small area I would like to refurbish.

Glipstone Leather Products.  Under that company is "Scuffmaster" which could be the right avenue to pursue.

As I said in my first post Peter, the system I had, you had to provide reg, vin and paint/trim code and the guy was very helpful. When I got it through the post I was very dubious because the top of my steering wheel was worn to the fabric underneath. I was very patient with it and applied multiple coatings over a number of days and the results were fantastic. The kit also came with a gentle leather cleaner and conditioner, but for the life of me I cant remember where I had it from. I'd recognise it straight away though if I saw it.
