  • Recommendations for leather reconditioning kits??

    I've picked up a bargain Black leather interior for my Corrado, the seats need cleaning badly as well as 'de-ageing' so to speak. I have a great set of bolster foams for rebuilding them with but would like to finish the job off with a proper recolouring treatment.

    There's no rips just moderate scuffing to the drivers exit side bolster and I want the finish to look OE.

    So any recommendations please? Both for basic cleaning as well as restoring the finish.

    I want to do the interior in my MK II Golf as well as the 1/2 leather in my S2 which is now running again, so I need enough to do Three cars.

      Nice one, I'll check out their stuff Any more suggestions welcome as there's a bewildering selection of products on the market and detailing isn't normally my thing.

            I've used this too, great results

            Gives you that real leather smell too, I used G12 cleaner and G11 conditioner.
