Leather needs restoration

tb303 · 21-05-2005, 01:51

any ideas on how to restore the rear leather sits that have basicaly stiffened of repeated wetting-drying. they have been soaking dried and stiffened from the sun. Is there any product that fully restores them to original softness.

Any product with conditioner in it.

yeah i would try some leather cleaner or leather feed which is available from someone like autoglym and give it a few more treatments so the liquid soaks in properly and softens it up slowly.

Try here I've just used their stuff on my Calibra leather and it really is good stuff.

Thats the same stuff as the Liquid Leather site. Agree, that smell is lovely.

Yep I get that... and bitches fly across your rear bench when cornering (that's why I pack them in 4 abreast!)

That also acts as a rear strutbrace
