Does anyone have any recommendations as to how best to restore / clean leather interiors.

My seats are looking a bit tired and need a freshening up.

I have used Auto Glym leather cleaner and leather care cream and also saddle soap but neither have had any great effect.

Has anyone tried the leather dyes that are available. I have seen this one on ebay.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've used this a few times on black and grey leather, wouldn't use anything else.

Wise choice - just follow the instructions - you won't regret it!

You can also get dye for your seats. The same people have this. You just have to give them your exact colour and they can send some down to you. However with white and light grey leather it's the hardest to recolour and never looks perfect. Darker colour come out very well mind you.

If you come down to Alexandra palace this weekend to the classic car show you will be able to get some. It might be worth snipping off an 2 inch square of the leather from underneath your seat to use as a colour match.

I concur - my Red leather came up a treat after this treatment!
