Leather seat restorer - seats have lost colour help!
« on: September 08, 2013, 10:31:33 am »
 :scared: Hi guys!

My ed30 seats have worn on the leather sides where you get in and out I need something which will feed the colour back in as they have gone light grey now and are faded is there anything which I can use that will feed the leather and put the colour back into the seats making them look a bit nicer and newer if possible? I can upload pics if that's helps?

Thanks Jay

Don't think there is much you can do as the leather is coated so you can't actually get at the leather anyway , if there is an answer you have come to the right place

I wondered if anything like this could do it?

Or

The seats are not too bad the first thing above looks better for what my seats are like, looking at the before and after pictures on the eBay listing description! Any ideas?

Thanks again!

If you read through alexperkins build thread in members ride, he restored the colour to his side bolsters, as like you they had become scuffed over time  :happy2:
