Ivory napa bolster looking a bit tired. Don't want to attempt it myself. Can anyone recommend a pro? Willing to travel. I also fancy changing my seat belts to beige (save on constant alcantara cleaning, or maybe I could get some of those nice seatbelt pads!) Any suppliers? Thanks again.

Sure you don't want to attempt the colour repair yourself? It's super easy... Liquid leather will sort it. I use it on mine every couple of years and the leather looks almost as good as when new.

Thanks maniac. Are you referring to this stuff?

I used a supplier in Germany sourced through Ebay (I think) called 'Leder Fresh' for Alaskan Grey repair kit for our Series 1.
It took awhile, wasn't particularly cheap but was a perfect match.
Only link I could find is ledertechnik bmw.
Worth a search if you are as fussy as me in getting it right.

Can't remember where I had it from, will look on the bottle tomorrow and see if there is a name or address.
It's like a matt emulsion, I paint on then rub in with finger. After a few says wear it blends in.

Speak with the gliptone liquid leather people they can source any colour or mix to match a sample if you can provide (like a small piece from under the seam of a seat etc)russ1911 wrote:Any advice on Canberra Beige - I can't find anything for that anywhere!

If the bolsters have holes , you need a professional. If not, Gliptone (a.k.a. Liquidleather, Scuffmaster & Automate) products are very good. https://www.liquidleather.com/
From my experience (on a 911, two Jaguars and the Ivory Nappa Z4, for example) ...
1 Gliptone colours are true, although they don't look it in the bottle
2 Scuffmaster dye works very well on Alcantara (The best cleaner for Alcantara is the aerosol - not the liquid in the bottle in the kit - leather cleaner from BMW/Sytner)
3 On leather, especially bolsters, Scuffmaster needs several repeats to be very good
4 Obviously, don't apply the gloss until you've finished and then only a little
5 Scuffmaster works on plastic
6 On undamaged but dirty seats, the Leather Conditioner 'washes' muck off
7 (Undamaged) leather needs humidity. Just wiping it with a very damp cloth helps a lot.
