Can yous use the liquid leather on the steering wheel and other leather parts?  This car was previously owned by a civil engineer and sometimes he goe into the car when covered in grime... also, can you get a leather dye to touch up the areas where the leather starts to wear?  The drivers side, side bolster is a bit worn and I figured I could add the colour back where required and then just make sure I clean and condition the leather every three weeks to keep it tip-top going forward...

Gliptone leather cleaner to lift the grime, they also do colour match dye for areas that are marked. Conditioner afterwards and all should be sweet. I've used this product for a fair few years and it has always performed, buy it from ebay or direct from gliptone if you need colour match dye. This is only my views and I am sure there are equally good products out there,  :smiley:

Sorry, don't know colour code but costs are G12 cleaner £6.00 (250ml) and G11 conditioner (250ml) from
manufacturer/supplier (Liquid Leather) on 01706 819365. They will also be able to help with the colour match/dye, products correct name is 'scuff master' and is a small bottle of colour matched liquid. That is about all info I can remember at the moment,  :smiley:
