Worn Leather

[Matt16v]

My bolsters are a little tatty and white looking.

Any one know a way of making it look a little tidier - is there a way?

Some one suggested black shoe polish, would have thought this was suicide in terms of getting it on your clothes!

Shoe polish is way forward.

Just make sure you give it a good buffing afterwards.

Fcuk it, ill try it and put some plastic covers over there for a while after.

I did this after using a pro leather cleaning kit. Problem I found was the cracks are stil visable but now black. Then the fact that the patch with polish is shiny and the rest is dull. (Sposed to be dull)

Get yourself down to youre local saddlers (horse saddlers), and get yourself some saddle soap, its a paste in a tub, and it will soak inot the leather and soften it up, clean and protect it, and give it a natural look, and its about 1/4 of the pricve of all these fancy creams etc

I nicked my parents leather cleaning kit for the sofa so didnt cost me nothing!
