trigger Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 I've probably asked this question on here already but i can't be arsed to read back for it, soooo, the leather seats are very dry and cracking a bit, i know i can't save the cracks but it would be nice to make them more suble again. So on that note has any body got any recommendations for a leather balm which does actually do as its says and makes the leather nice again? The Autoglym stuff i bought didn't make any difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Looking good! Needs some proper period plates though! No! The plates are period, you don't get them like that any more. I think they really suit it, too. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 When I used to sell seats as office chairs I used black crayons to fill in the cracks then clean and polish them with saddle soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 any body got any recommendations for a leather balm which does actually do as its says and makes the leather nice again? The Autoglym stuff i bought didn't make any difference at all.Do it again. And again. And again. Don't be stingy with it either. I used to car share with a bloke who had the worlds shonkiest XJ40 but the seats were lovely. You could tell when he had Autoglymed them as soon as you sat down.He used it on his sofa too. Unless of course in the intervening years the health and safety brigade have made them change the recipe. Edit: it is leather care you are using and not leather cleaner I take it? trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Gliptone Liquid Leather, the two part stuff is the best I've come across for leather. Skizzer, alf892 and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thanks Dicky, I'll gave that one a try, I've used the Autoglym stuff like that video shows, it came as a two part pack with the cleaner and cream as well as a sponge byt after 4 treatments it's still no better.

Timewaster Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 What is it you are trying to improve it with your seats Trig? Look or feel? I've used Gliptone and however good it is, it stinks. Renapur is good stuff too but difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I just want to make the leather more suble so that they don't crack or split anymore. I've ordered some of that liquid leather from ebay along with the cleaner so I'll see what that comes up like. I took the car to Woodbridge this afternoon with the wife and kid and ended up at a village pub for lunch, it was getting a lot of comments from the other patrons coming in and out of the pub.

coalnotdole Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I've always used leather balsam on the GTE's seats: http://www.carrdaymartin.co.uk/product/belvoirleather-balsam/ Cheap leaves a lovely deep gloss finish, has a distictive but not unpleasnt smell. Does need redoing every few months though. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
