Just wondering, came upon what seems like a great way to restore leather seats on the internet. Basically just buy some kind of shoe polisher with the brush applicant, put it on your seats and whipe off immediately. Says to wait a day before sitting in the seats. Im going to try it today on my camar and take some before and after pictures, just wondering if anyone has ever tried it and any advice.

 

I 'd think it works since your leather shoes have more leather in em than stock fbody seats.

I suggest to try it on lower back part of the seat so its not visible in case it does do any damage.

 

Yes I have. I actually use stuff that was designed for horse saddles and cowboy shoes. It smells like **** for a day, but it makes the leather SUPER soft.

 

I wouldn't use shoe POLISH. Polish your shoes and then rub em hard on a t-shirt of pair of jeans and it leaves a dark smear. I'd be pissed if my seats started ruining my clothes. Instead I recommend getting a bottle of leather dye with the sponge applicator. Once it's dry, rub it hard over with a dry terry towel to get any residue off.

 

^ That was my thought about it getting on your clothes.

 

From what I understand you rub the seat with it, then whipe the excess off and let it sit overnight, after that its supposed to be dry and not come off on any of you're clothes

 

Like I said, try that with a shoe. As a Marine I know for a fact that even weeks after a good polishing, the black will smear on cloth if rubbed hard. I ruined a tan uniform shirt by mistakenly putting my polished "inspection boots" in the clothing bag.

 

This is the stuff I use, it's clear and doesn't rub off.

It's expensive, but it lasts a long time and does a pretty epic job.

 

Nice, and that will repair the look as well?

 

It will make it have more of a sheen, if it's cracked it's not going to do much for that. If you get it, use a white paper towel with it. It's amazing how much dirt comes off when you wipe it.

 

Sounds good, I think Im going to try this on my back seats once my rear seat delete goes in. http://www.ehow.com/how_4966713_repa...car-seats.html

 

I stand corrected, I meant Shoe DYE in the post sorry about that.

 

Check out Adams leather cleaner and conditioner did wonders for my seats!

 

Well this happened to be the second time in 2 weeks that I've heard someone try to say to use shoe polish on seats! I welcome anyone to try it, but be prepared to buy a new shirt/pants. Leather dye/shoe dye is what you should use.

 

tried some black kiwi on my seats.....the leather really did not soak up the kiwi......and sitting on it just rubbed it off........back to square 1

 

Use adams leather conditioner and it will cure all your leather cleaning frustrations. lol. you will NOT be disappointed!!
