Has anyone had any direct experience with this? You can buy kits on the internet or have it done professionally. I'd like to know if this is a serious process or just a gimmick as I'd like to recolour my LE seats.

Cheers,

I'd like a little info on this too - surely it just a case of applying a dye ?? though I guess its dependent on the area needing re-colouring ?

Its a paint rather than a dye..... I'm seeing mixed opinions...

Me to, I know there is leather treatment in halfords but I wonder if that is anygood.

I have plain black leather and with a make over they will be in very good condition. have anyone use stuff like it before?

I'm actually intending on changing the colour, from red to black, or cream.

Conditioning is definately doable. Just get yourself some gliptone (cleaner and conditioner) and go for it. I've had great results with it.

Will do mate, it's in good condition just needs a little tlc if you know what i mean.

Just got a scuff kit from liquidleather.com. It consists of a cleaner then a dye to touch in the bits where the surface has worn away then a leather feed of some sort.

Going to give the black a refurb on my LE seats. I'll let you know how I get on when I'm done.

Yes, please do.

Gliptone is over-priced and quite harsh/artificial. Go to a local leather goods shop/hunting, shooting, fishing type shop and get saddle soap, or saddle wax. Trust me, I've tried just about every product in Halfords, and Gliptone, but £4.99 worth of saddle wax has been the best out of all the products I've tried.

Sounds good stan I will try that. Fot £5 it is well worth it, halfords you would pay more that doulble that I expect.

Thanks mate.

Stan's always been a bit of an expert on all things leather

For the price and how good he say's it is, he has gave me a great piece of advice.

Stan is always helpful with a viraty of thing's thinking about it.

He is very old and very wise! I used his saddle soap/wax on my gimp suit and came up a treat!
Thanks Stan,no substitute for experience!!!

I've never tried saddle soap, so I'm not knocking it, but.. <click me>

Maybe more of a conditioner than a cleaner, so should be used as a latter part of a treatment?

Would like to know what stan would say after reading that, before I comment on it anyway?
