Ed30 back seat pics?

[Phil mcavity]

Thanks folks (especially BMX), very helpful 

Phil, I was just after a pic of the Ed30 seats, so not the full leather - but interested to know your thoughts on the leather, as my mate's considering speccing a new GTi with leather and I mentioned I'd seen some pretty bad wear (saggy etc) on some fairly low-mileage Golf's so interested to know how you've found yours, cheers.

Well so far, have done 13000 miles in mine and so far no wear signs at all , the main wear area's would be the side bolsters but there isnt any at all as i regually wax them fourtnightly and they are soft as a baby's ass still and look good as new.

Which type of leather wax do you use?

Yes your right Tagnut, and what great stuff that is!!! 


oh yeah and its Autoglym leather care is what i regually wax by bum with.

You don't find that it "bungs up" or clogs the stitching the stitching?
I was thinking of using it on my seats. But I suppose that I will have to keep it away from the red stitching.

[Phil mcavity]

yes , maybe be tricky for all those owners with red stitching, it might well dis-colour it so wouldnt recomend it.

liquid leather is really good, no buffing required and it keeps the matte finish

That sounds just like what I need, easy to use.    Is it available from Halfrauds and the like, or only through mail order?

BTW, I'm not a big fan of the AutoGlym leather care range - as I find it tends to "tighten" up leather - which may be fine on old saggy leathers (and may also be fine on the standard GTI seats), but it 'll be no good on really snug leather on my RS buckets.  It wasn't really any good on the leather Recaros in my last S4 either.

TT I use Zymol leather care and have found it excellent.  If you buy the pack it comes with a liquid cleaner and the leather care itself. As is usual with Zymol, its high quality stuff and does not leave any marks in the stitching like other leather care products. I think you can order it on the Vertar site.
