My seats need a refresh, not falling to bits, just a bit tired in places, anyone tried the spray on leather repair kits ?
 
Speak to Nick Edmondson, the fellow who you were talking to about an S2 'cat'/resonator bypass pipe.

I've used Gliptone a number of times on Marble Grey, results are better than re connolising which makes the seats to hard for me, this stuff made them feel more natural and soft

I have not tested Liquid Leather by Gliptone but other people in the leather care business say it is not the best.Of the ones I have tested , available to the public ,Dynamix products are good and will produce a good finish result.
Many more products are being developed at a pace at the moment , especially ones for the public to use on furnture and car leather , inparticular colour dyes which are water based and are for refreshing leather rather than for very worn leather.These are called fast colour/easy colour and are very good.I use them for certain jobs.
More information can be had from LTT in Harrogate 01423 881207 - I get my products from them.

Nick, who makes the best leather fillers, quality and VFM? Also, is the solvent just denatured alchohol, because some comedians are asking ten pounds for 250ml?
 
I use Furniture clinic fillers , the solvents purpose is to remove the finish/sealant from the surface so the new dye can be absorbed into the leather-once you see dye on cloth the finish has been removed . Standard thinners is fine - use a vapour mask.The alcohol solvents purpose is to clean the surface of grease grime silicones etc which may have found there way onto/into the leather.Normal rubbing alcohol is fine.(isopropanol )
I always clean with strong cleaner , remove finish and then clean with alcohol before redying - preparation is key to a good lasting result.
