if you have cracks then use www.liquidleather.co.uk

if yours a nice and min then use Autoglym leather cleaner. this tightens the leather. after that use the leather care cream. looks pukka once full dried

I used the frame and foam from the mk1 bench, and the covering from the mk2, i used cloth but it should be the same principal. mine's a cabby too. But that seemed to do the trick.
