One day soon, when I can be bothered I want to replenish the leather on my Plus. It looks a bit hard and a bit faded.

So can anyone recommend something, inexpensive and easy to do for the leather, to make it look and feel soft, and generally improve the condition of it?

Also, once I have done this, id like to try and get some of the red colour back in some of the stitching, main places that are bad are, handbrake, gear knob and steering wheel, poss would consider doing the seats if there is a cheap, cheeky way of doing it, any ideas?
I was thinking just getting a marker pen and colouring it in, but would this come off on to my clothes and hands?

Get a decent leather cleaner first and then go from there is my advice. A good clean can work wonders.

AutoGlym do a decent leather cleaner.

I use Renapur Leather Balsam to treat the seats.

Totally natural ingredients including beeswax. Picked it up at a bike show years ago. Great for anything from jackets to horse saddles to the coops leather seats.
