Leather Restorer

Baggee · 03-09-09, 04:10 PM

Have just took delivery of the leather interior for my Coupe. Generally in good condition. Just a few minor scuffs and a little wear in places. Amybody know of a good restorer/colour wax or polish. Am cleaning with good old soap/water and elbow grease and Auto Glym leather cleaner and leather care cream which is ok but wanted something more proffesional.

I like Colorplus, which is used for leather restoration in the US. Take a look online.
I've used there softener on many books and folios at work. Original designed for the restoration of leather car upholstery and saddles.

Try Gliptone products. Readily available in the UK and excellent for leather

I doubt it Mart. Got soooo much on. Son got back from USA on Mon. He's been working there for 3 months. We're like the United Nations tommorrow for a few days with friends he made coming to stay so its threw us out. Not a clue where they are all going to sleep

So not even sure if I'll even get to the next BC.

The RaceGlaze leather cleaner and leather feed are very good and leave a matte finish if that is what you require. The smell is not too strong either. Just used some tonight on my A4.

Otherwise there is also the Zymol leather cleaner and milk from the normal range, not the high end one. This is also pretty good. They would give you better results than the A/G range.

If you need the colour restored due to wear and tear etc, this is also available from RaceGlaze. (www.morethanpolish.co.uk).
