Re: i been and gone and done it..
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.Helen Goff wrote:Larry does the outside & engine/electrics & i do all the inside & upholstory
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

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
