Cheers fella.

Actually just updated the images as the ones previously up were a bit soft due to crap image hosting site supplying thumb nails that had then been blown up to 786 x 588  :fighting:

Much happier that these images now show off the quality of the finish  :love:

That looks really good!
Must get on to mine as it isn't as clean as it could be, and is a bit shiny.

I've previously used some of the cheap Armourall leather wipes just to clean it up a bit.

Just to help anyone else thinking of the best way to clean leather - hope you don't mind if I add my recent experience. The weekend just gone I cleaned all the leather with Gliptone shampoo, and then sealed with Gtechniq L1 leather guard. I though the leather was cleanish before, but the cleaner seemed to remove some shine on the bolsters, and then the sealant has added protection & has maintained the matt finish I wanted.
Most other leather creams, etc, I have used in the past have made the leather shiny & tacky again. Makes sense what another member said about them just sitting on top of the coating that modern leather has...

Very happy indeed - the steering wheel & gearknob were the only bits I didn't do, so must do those next...
