Morning! I want to get some really good leather treatment for the interior. Due to my lack of children (PHEW)..and friends (sob) the back seats are in mint condition but the front ones are cracking slightly so I thought I should treat it before they get tatty looking.

Any reccomendations?

this stuff, cleans, conditions and protects the leather

or try the gliptone leather cleaner/conditioner you get loads on ebay, supposed to be really good as well.


if its cracking , could try this stuff first

Gliptones is what I used,you can go to there own website and buy a small bottle of red scuffmaster dye set,http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htmthen I recommend for the cleaner or conditioner you use e bay were your find it cheaper than on Gliptones own site,my own passenger seat had cracked to a point were you could see through the red colouring but after using the cleaner which really does remove some dirt you can apply the dye (they provide a couple of small spounges) give it 24 hours to dry properly and then apply the condition,tackle your interior over a few sessions as its quite hard work and the condition your leather every 2-3 months to keep the leather supple

Alan, did you use the dye or was the cleaner and conditioner enough? If you did use the dye do you remember what colour it was? They give this as a colour, but grey and '89?

I did use the dye because my passenger seat was worn down to the bare leather in the creases,I still have it at work so will give you the right color tomorrow

Cheers. No rush though. I've ordered cleaner and conditioner and will see how they work out first.
