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?

+1 great stuff, used their kit to rejuvenate our Coral red seats.

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.

I have some perfect match.
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.

Kansas beige.
Just realise you want Canberra, but try them.

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)

Duh, I have Canberra Beige, so my link was good.
 
To Maniac
Appreciate a quick chat at zfest about this if you have a spare 5 minutes. Couldn't pm you.
Regards

DO NOT USE AUTOGLYM.....

Brilliant, thanks. Just a bit wary about trying it myself!

If the bolsters have holes :o , 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.
