Any half-decent leather conditioner with dye?


Recommended Posts

I decided I'll spend a bit of time buffing the leather on both of my cars. The seats are in good general condition, but of course there is the odd scuff etc. So I'd like to see if there's any off-the-shelf product that

i) contains a bit of dye together with the leather-conditioning stuff

ii) isn't massively expensive and

iii) actually works!

 

Both interiors are black, so I guess I won't be having a problem with shade etc. Anyone know of anything worthwhile, or should I just get some shoe polish and make sure it's dry and clean before anyone sits on it?

What's the requirement for the dye? Surely the dye will just come off onto the passenger's clothes (including yours?)

 

I picked up some beeswax based shoepolish from a beekeepers (chain bridge honey farm near Berwick) which works a beaut on the various colours of leather chairs (in car and in living room) we have around here. Makes flatulence noises for a couple of days afterwards as an added bonus (GR9 4 having girls wriggling in the passenger seat and giggling)

 

I did try a few commercial products for cleaning up leather, but they all smelt really bad - either just of 'polish' smells, or fake leather smell. Beeswax seems to make the car smell of honey, which is certainly not unpleasant :)

I am, in fact, using a beeswax product (which was bought on a visit to a Dunelm Mill store!!), but there are some scuffs and a tiny bit of discolouration where I 'd think some dye would be beneficial.
