#1 Leather trim renovation

Post by Bernie2015 » Sat Nov 25, 2017 10:16 am

Hi All,

I am trying to refresh some navy blue leather on the car and I know the trim shop use Wollies leather renovator. Is there another product that any one knows of that's a little less expensive?

The place I used (www.lederzentrum.ch) sells "Paint", as well as "Touch up cream". I've used both, and I'm happy with the results.

The paint takes a lot more work to prep for, but the cream takes a bit of prep to get good results.

I second the Furniture Clinic recommendation . Have a look at their website and after that it is probably worth a phone call to describe your needs and ask for their advice on which products are best suited . It sounds to me as though a thorough clean is really what is called for, followed by hide food or the like
