Phil G Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I need to rejuvenate my leather seats. Is the Connolly hide food still recommended or is there a comparable product on the market? Phil Summer Lightning haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Rich_Bernie Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Have a look at: http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk They sell kits with cleaner and dye, as well as the Connolly hide food. (I thought Connolly went bust, but looks like you can still get it). Works well if you are patient. If you are not going to use the dye you still want the seats clean before putting the hide food on.

prs Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I've always used Autoglym leather care cream, I treat my seats about once a month and they still look as new after 4yrs and 17k miles no cracks or splitting. Phil S7SVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dignity Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Quoting sforshaw: Liquid Leather Stu. So do I go for this one? "Use GT11 Conditioner, this is a thick cream which smells of genuine English leather, it should be sparingly applied on a cloth and rubbed in, it will soak into the leather immediately, no polishing off is required, the leather will be left soft and original, without a sticky or shiny finish, the leather will also smell of good old fashioned English leather." Or this one? "GT13 Conditioner & Waterproofer. Conditioning and Waterproofing Car & Motorcycle leather Mainly sold for motorcycle leathers but also for cars with no roof or leather that may get rained on" I like the idea of the old fashioned english leather smell 😳 but waterproof one sounds more practical?

Phil G Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Blimey! Old threads never die I went for the GT12 gentle cleaner and GT11 conditioner. Both work well and the seats come up a treat, plus they smell great. Don’t expect miracles as it won’t hide deep scuffs or aluminium stains. Tell me what will.......please!

Phil B Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I use a daughter, works well and saves me the hassle. She wants to drive the car, she has a horse and all the leather cleeaning stuff, saddle soap, Neats foot oil (bought early as a protected species locally!), plus elbow grease of course.

Phil B Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Depends on whether you would let her hoon your car round Dunsfold in return for a pair of polished perches! Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
