what up homies (lol, its 'street saturday' at my work today) i was wondering if any of the leather restorers you can buy would have any effect on the worn and faded patches of my dark grey leather seats? and if so, could anyone reccomend a good one? its such a shame to have big white patches in them :-( cheers dawgs lol

IIRC a company called woolies did restoration stuff for leather

I'm not sure whether any off the shelf products would really do the job given that it's not just cracked, there's patches of colour missing.

 

Your best bet would be to contact a good leather restorer for a quote. Wouldn't be cheap, you might even be able to get shiny new leathers for just a little bit more if you looked hard enough.

Is there no edit button on this forum? Not that it's particularly a problem, I just always feel guilty double posting.

 

Regardless, I take back what I said about going professional. The products that Vijay linked to look excellent. Worst case scenario it doesn't work very well, and you've only wasted £20 or whatever. Best case scenario it looks great and you've saved yourself hundreds.

There is if you subscribe :winkiss:

Gliptone is another company to try, they do a colour matched dye for 300zx leather seats as well as the usual cleaners and conditioners.

I've used Gliptone products on my previous classic cars; including a 1975 Jaguar XJ6 and a 1991 Mk3 Soop. They did the job very well - the dye covered the scuff marks; the cleaner removed almost all traces of muck etc and the conditioner restored the finish and made everything nice and soft. Plus it put that "proper" leather smell back as well!!

 

And as Vijay said - Woollies to an excellent kit as well!
