Hi
Im just wondering what does everyone use to clean condition their leather seats?
Also the bolsters on my seats have some marks and cracks etc does anyone know where is best to get a colour match dye to touch them up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

I had a slight scuff mark on my grey leather. Main dealer was not helpful but after trawling the web for help forums I was directed to www.colourlock.com who do a good range of MB colours. I ordered “crystal grey” in a 150 ml bottle. The colour patch is perfect. They give full instructions about application. Clean the seat, dry and dab on with a cloth or sponge. Remember poly gloves to protect your hands. I left my seats unused overnight to fully dry.

For cleaning I have always used gliptone but with coated modern leather a mild soap will do the job. The important part is the rinse off. Cotton wool or clean mutton cloth are good for the final wipe as dirt shows against their white. Coated leather does not need feeding but I can never resist gliptone leather conditioner, rub on let it dry then buff. The conditioner leaves a real leather smell which some love but others do not so try it on a small area first to find which camp you are in

Thanks, how did I find out what colour my car leather is, will it be on the build sheet?
 
I use baby wipes.
 
Dodo Juice supernatural leather cleaner. Does a cracking job, and it's so quick and easy.
