Leather restoring/cleaning.

[mat8n]

I'm after giving my grey leather interior a clean up and restore.
The bolster on the drivers seat is a bit worn/rub/cracked, whatever you call it when it goes a bit white in the creases and i'd like to get on top of it now if it's not to late!
The rest of the interior is fine.
Is there a product i can get to do a diy restore? and anything I can get to treat the seats? The car is an SL and is mainly driven with the roof down so it does get a lot of exposure to the sun and the elements.

Grey is a really tricky colour to match correctly on leather seats. After several attempts and several good products on several cars over the years I now go to a professional. If your near London/ Surrey/ Hampshire Martin at Renovatio does excellent work on leather and is very reasonable. Otherwise find someone near you and check their references.

Wise words It never ceases to amaze me how buying a couple of bottles of XYZ and watching a U Tube clip make someone an expert in anything, and replaces proper training and experience. When it goes wrong (which will not happen all the time) it's experience and knowledge that will save the day.

Sadly I'm 'overseas' but here's an example of a grey leather restoration https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.347712961914272.85474.319865651365670&type=3

Buy the small kit from Furniture Clinic - Leather Care, Leather Cleaner, Furniture Repair & Restoration and you will get it looking new.

Easy to do as well. It needs to be sprayed, these dye kits you wipe on never look great.

Thanks for all the advice, I'm nowhere near London.
I'll have a think and go from there, it's not bad or worth worrying about at the moment, just trying to make my car tip top!

This stuff is even easier, although a little more money, but still very a cheap repair.

I did mine with the furniture clinic kit, bought the airbrush from them too and it worked a treat
