Is it possible to repair the wear on my valver leather seats,the damaged is to the drivers bolsters, any one had this repaired before?

How bad its it ? you got any pics ?

A decent specailist will be able to sort you out. Has the leather cracked ?

Someone recommended theses people to me. its £20 for a bottle of dye, and if they dont already have your colour listed, you can send them a sample of the leather, and they can make you one up.

Cat171 you out there?

They don't look overly bad in the pics, they are not past it (in my opinion, i've seen a lot worse)
I'd suggest getting some Gliptone (liquid leather) on them for a start, you can buy it from ebay, give that a try & see where you are. You have to look after leather, otherwise it just dries out & cracks (like what yours are doing)

Ok thanks for the help mate

 

[cat171]

No problem, get that stuff & see how you get on, it should do the trick.

 

[mr7t6]

sorry should have also ask what if it dont do the trick and does the Gliptone recolour the leather?

Thanks

I believe it does, i've never used it myself, but know of loads who have. It ought to do the trick. If your still un sure about it, google it.
