after many trials and errors of restoring Leather/cloth i have found that good old fashioned liquid boot polish can't be beat.. its dead easy to use, cheap and lasts..

just remember to let dry & then buff between coats else your end up with black(or what ever colour) clothes
My gear shift boot was very shabby but not torn. Boot polish has brought it up like new. Smell soon wears off. I wish that I had black seats but that would be too easy. Nuetral doesn't do the same job! Kiwi don't do Linen. :roll:

Sure Cherry Blossom do though :mrgreen:

Was wondering about doing the Jag with the same trick but neither polish maker lists Cashmere :twisted:

it costs about £12 for a *500ml bottle of Leather cream or £20 for a 1ltr bottle (postage free)


*500ml bottle lasts me about a year and i use it quite a lot. although (jim) you might need the bigger bottle for treating your thong :angel9:
