Roo Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ok so there are a couple of annoying leather scuffs that - the previous owner had sorted. Obviously just temporaryly.... I assume this is some sort of valeting trick to make wear/scuffs disappear - anyone know what it is? Its annoying me now and I want them back to the condition they were when I got it...

srobrien Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I bought a buffalo leather repair kit from ebay for around £12, not tried it yet but its supposed to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I bought some seats and the owner told me there were a couple of marks on them. When I got the car detailed by Clenz they were gone. One of the pro detailers will know the magic secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Please take some pictures of it for us ? Using leather cream like autoglym or Connolly or glyptone will cover most scuffs by carefully rubbing it onto the seat . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Zed is all wrapped up at the mo will get a pick when I take it out next, been using meguires gold class tho so far. I assume they had used some sort of tinted treatment. (Like that suede restorer) that has slowly lifted off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glyptone and connolly and others can match the colour for you and provide a bespoke kit - which is not too expensive but dont spend any money on that yet - lets see the extent of the damage first please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 OK chaps here is a pick of the scuff. Ideas? Thanks in advance R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Nice one well to put you at ease they all go the same way it's nothing big to worry about it's just Nissans p!$$ poor thin leather! Ok get some boot polish on a rag and dab a little on let it dry for a bit then get some hide food like autoglym or connollys or glyptone that will soften and preserve the leather. Don't waste anymore time on it mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 If it is looked after it ages OK I find. Regular clean with AG Leather Cleaner and feed with AG Leather Care Cream and all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawbhp Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 is it possible to get rid of small cracks once they have formed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Will have a go with shoe polish- I've got some black sued reviver that I might try as its more of a die as well. Clean with meguired gold class normally. I assume its as good as above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 is it possible to get rid of small cracks once they have formed? Well leather can be treated but really you need to give it plenty of hydration for want of a better word? Get Connolly Hide Food and apply it to the area, leave for 30 mins or so apply some more let it soak in and soften the leather you would be surprised how tough leather is and how much you can heal it! Yes Roo just try something with the dye make sure you check in another area first to check on colour math first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
