Care/restoring leather seats
Evening all,
Anyone got any cunning hints and tips for looking after older leather seats? I've just bought a pair that are in decent condition (no rips but
a few light scratches), but they look like they haven't been cleaned in about 5 years...
Cheers
Andy
Dammit! Too many decisions....

I use lightly diluted TFR, say 50:50 with water, and soft scrubbing brush.
Once all the muck is out and seats dry rub in lots of quality beeswax, get the stuff for sofa's from DFS etc.
The leather will absorb this so have few goes.
Make sure you work into the stitching, TFR is pretty strong stuff.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is TFR exactly? Is it a branded cleaner of some sort?

Traffic film remover.
TBH that seems a bit of a harsh chemical to me.

Saddle Soap
I don´t get it.
What´s wrong with saddle soap???
It has been used for ages.
I use a damp face towel to aplly the stuff, a good rubbing, wipe with rinsed towel, repeat if necessary.
You may appy baby oil, or Baseball Glove protective oil.
This preferably done on a warm, dry day (hahaha Bad tropical weather joke)
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....
