As you might know, I have been feeling very embarrassed by my seats. The car had become increasingly grimy over the last 12 months & a few weeks ago I decided that it was time to do something about it.

Today's weather made my mind up that it was time to take out the liquid leather that I bought about 6 months ago & actually see if it is as good as people here make out.

Anis leather looks beautiful, but it is a complete nightmare to keep clean - mine suffered from living next to a building site, dust became ingrained and the leather felt more like plastic than leather.





It took me about an hour and a half per seat, lots of elbow grease and plenty of sweat in the 20 odd degree heat, but they ended up looking like this:





They're never going to win any concours prizes, but I am really happy with the results. The amount of dirt that got lifted from them was unbelievable, the cleaner works really well when you work it in with a soft nailbrush as instructed. Having used the conditioner next, I now have a car that smells like I did when I bought it - LOVE that leather smell!

I have the dye too, to touch up the very bad spots - but for now the seats are a million times better than they were at 10 o'clock this morning.

I had my wheels refurbed last week, fitted the new mats ordered on the group buy and fitted new centrecaps from Philip at PW Motorsport to replace my crappy bent ones. The car's been washed & is looking gleaming outside in the sun now - one VERY productive week



Mart.

Looking good Mart,

Nice might have a crack at this over half term hols if the weather is good. How much does the liquid leather cost mate.

That is impressive!

About £15 for cleaner and conditioner inc p&p

Lookin Sh1t HOTT!!!
guna give that a whirl

You were right to be embarrassed, they WERE a disgrace!

What an amazing difference though...

I think we all washed our cars today.....fingers crossed for a week of unbroken sunshine,

That's looking good Mart - testament to your hard work and how well Liquid Leather does its job

And a "how to use it" for those who're using LL for the first time

amazing

Blimey, what a difference

Must get off my fat arse and do mine tomorrow

Is that using the scuff master kit btw?

Not sure the cleaner and conditioner would remove cracks like that on their own, unless it does if you spend an hour rubbing?
