just for general feedback until few years ago i'd never done anything except clean leather etc but i too used Gliptone scuffmaster all in one leather dye on my old TVR seats and recently just done my steering wheel and gear knob and handbrake with bespoke leathering Ltd all in one dye , it s a sealer all in one so is a simple process ive done over 1000 miles since and it's perfect and i did over 10k on TVR seats and they were great too my only advice is the leather has to be very very clean i used an all purpose cleaner (bilt hamer surfex HD) and scrubbed them well plenty of vids on youtube , i then used small sponge and you have to dab (not wipe) on the dye then use a hair dryer as this cu

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello A mate has just bought a 964 and the leather seats need some attention they are a light cream colour. I am based Cambridge way? could you recommend someone who is good at doing reverb work ? Doesn’t have to be local. Thanks Phil

POST 2Original post

Recommend you buy some Gliptone(liquid leather) and recondition/ refurbished yourself its not that difficult needs a few hours over a couple of days and probably 5 maybe 6 coats for linen, this gives you a nice soft leather. I always applied with about 1 inch wide sponge cut from a kitchen sponge. If you go to a reconditioned you will probably end up with reconnollisong which is a spray job and I find from experience intakes the seats hard.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks Gordon that is very helpful regards Phil
