ED30 "leather"
QD MBE:
I had a look at my bolsters with a view to applying some Zymol Leather conditioner. yesterday I applied by hand and left it, looks ok.
But tonight i went one better, got the heat gun, and warmed the bolsters, then applied by hand again, and heated gently as i worked it in.
My inside bolster was not bad, but had slight rippling, they have virtually all gone, and the Zymol has really worked in well. The drivers side had very little rippling, and they all went totally.
i was very careful not to apply too much heat, and not let the heat gun linger on one point too much.
:happy2: :happy2:

The key with leather is to keep on top of it from day one... It sounds like a bit of a fussy pain, but every couple of weeks or so ensure that you clean the leather with a gentle cleaner. There's loads on the market and many work well, I like Croftgate leather products and also LTT Leather Cleaner which I use fortnightly on the leather trim in my S60. Dirt is the killer for leather, so if you keep it clean regularly it just means you dont have a mammoth task dealing with it after a long period.
Bolsters come in for a lot of flack, and as 182 recommends above, regular treatment is the key :)

Washing the car today so thought I would clean and treat the leather and try the Alex Ferguson (Hair-Dryer) treatment :wink:
First up I cleaned the leather with some AG Leather cleaner, then I conditioned with some Gliptone leather conditioner :smiley:
Before: As you can see a bit grubby and looking quite wrinkly
After: Cleaner and less wrinklage :wink:
Really pleased with the initial results but will do this again in a fortnight or so as I feel I can again decrease the amount of wrinkles and get the the leather tighter. Not sure how warm I can get it, if anyone can advise? :chicken:
