'Colouring' Leather Seat Bolster

[Delmastiff]

I've got wear on the drivers seat bolster on my Champion leather recaro. Any advice on how to restore the colour, make of product and where to buy from etc.

cheers

Black boot/shoe polish on the worn bits, then get a good leather cleaner and restorer, Gliptone make a very good kit, that gets rave reviews.

Does the boot polish not come off on your clothes?

[daddy cav]

I used black leather shoe dye and it's be fine for nearly a year ( was very minor )
Even used leather cleaner / feeder since and it's not taken the dye off .

[pinkpyro]

excellent. cheers

You only use the shoe polish on the cracked bits, just enough to cover. So then it won't come off on you.

Gliptone is good as has already been recommended.

[daddy cav]

Yes , whoops , just put a small amount on rag and rub into the crack .
I have been using Mcguires clean / feed .

[daddy cav]

Well , this picture is right after it was done ( just the bolster ) It settled down , was just a few small creases / cracks to start with .

All good info, cheers chaps
