Gaiter

[tigor]

My gaiter is looking very tired. For lack of being able to track down an original new gaiter online, has anyone tried restoring with something like shoe polish? Or is this a horrible idea?

I would ring a vet TBH. Could be that it has things on it's mind.

Seriously, though, leather seat dye is good for this. I did the top of my gearstick and the handbrake of my F33 with black leather dye recently and they came up really well. Always use a leather cleaner first. Furniture Clinic products have a good reputation, that is what I use.

Completely agree, my driver side seat was wearing a bit and I used some leather cream dye and it came up like new…

Completely agree with “pondrew”, my driver seat was looking a bit worn and tired and I used a leather colour cream and it came up like new…
