LBRS are local to us and usually have a trade stand at most important motor shows! They also do mail order! As with all cleaning and dye products, try a small inconspicuous area first. If you need to dye then clean the area gently with a mild detergent and a piece of scotch pad to provide a key. When the dye is dry you can buff it up with a little leather polish.

I was a bit dubious at first, but F*CK ME!! amazing results. Cleaned them up perfectly and when fed etc, its really bought back the mat finish and lost the horrid shine. They look like new again. Thumbs up all round from me for this bit of kit

Thumbs up all round from me for this bit of kit I was happy with the results,i need to do mine again just to get into the habit of feeding the leather.. By the way if you want to change my name back to Snake feel free it might save some confusion...

The hardest bit is cleaning it before you apply.

I found the Gliptone smell was a bit too chemically, whereas the stuff from the LTT guys has no residual smell, leaving you to add their 'leather smell' wipes if you wanted to.
