seat leather recolour - best chemicals / treatments?

[Top Gear TVR]

hi, my s2 has tired looking leather on the seats that could do with recolouring.

any recommended products????

I have used Gliptone leather care products with good results.
If you send a sample of the leather/cloth they will match it.
You can buy a kit for 2 seats or smaller batch for repairs.

The Furniture Clinic recolouring set is meant to work well, there was a write up/how to in Sprint a couple of months ago and the results were impressive. They will even make it up to match your colour from a sample that you send in.

how do the treatments last? were they difficult to do?

if you go to the furniture clinic web site, they have the sprint article available for download as a pdf.

I've sat on the seats with zips etc and it hasn't affected the surface at all - early days but it does seem very tough.

Furniture Clinic for sure.
I have used their stuff on my front seats and they look brand new. It takes a little bravery as the required prep makes it look like you are destroying them totally. But have faith and your seats will look FANTASTIC. They are very helpful on the phone and did a custom match for me in only 24 hours. Can't speak highly enough of them and their products.

Good luck,
