Restoring leather seats

#1 Post by phorbiuz »

I know I've read about this somewhere, and being a PC subscriber there's a good chance it's in PC...

The leather seats in my motor have scuffs and marks on the driver's bolster I'd like to treat before they get worse. I've used a product called Gliptone in the past to feed leather but this time I'm looking for ways to treat and mask the scuffs / scrapes etc.

Can anyone in the know point me in the right direction please?

Thanks.

I think gliptone do something called scuffmaster that may be what you need.

Another vote for the Gliptome products here - give them a call, they'd be happy to discuss your particular issue, I'm sure.

Another company from which I've had very good service is Furniture Clinic:

Also happy (I can tell you from experience) to talk to you on the phone and give advice.

Cheers! :D

It may be worth a look in at your local Bart J. Snowball's, they do a saddle soap that works as well on car seats as it does on tack and it's much less costly than fancy "specialist" leather treatments that are most likely the same thing in many cases.

At work we use the scuffmaster through a smart repair gun thinned with water. Once dry we protect with Gliptone matt sealant and the seats always look like new and last really well
