leather repair

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Hello Frazz,
Check the following sites:
www.liquidleather.com

From what you wright I guess you would be fine with a scuffmaster kit. Anyway, if you want to get a perfect finish the colour match need to be exactly the right. If you can´t find your colour on the list it´s possible to send for example a headrest to get the colour mixed.

I ordered a "standard" Volvo grey and black scuffmaster for my leather interior and with some colour mixing and patience I got the correct match to make few small wear spots invisible. Top product!

Also www.furnitureclinic.co.uk seems like a good option, but I haven´t tried their products.

Good luck with it :)

Regards,
Anton_K

I have my half leather jaquard off from the seats currently, soap + water for normal cleaning and shoe polish for the half leather? Or liquid leather? There are some wear visible on the seams but otherwise they are in good nick.
