Leather seat refurb

[Dune19670]

Hi everyone
My E86 needs its seats sprucing up, as they’re a bit scuffed up on the bolsters.
I did a search and found conflicting results, so thought i would see what everyone recommends
Heres the seat which is in the worst condition

I’ve read good things about furniture clinic, not used them myself but others have seemed pleased

I second that about furniture clinic .
Fantastic stuff I started with my handbrake gaiter then did my black gear knob to beige then ended doing my whole sports seat as the seat was needing a hole in the bolster repaired and a full refurb , if it had all gone wrong I was prepared to pay for a full refurb on both seats so nothing to loose .
Amazing result looks almost like a new seat .
Used an artists flat paint brush a hair dryer 3 coats
And looks great .
I've given the seat a few coats of meg,s seat balm to help protect the seat and will now see how long it lasts , the colour was a perfect match to the factory colour .
Hope this helps .Greg

I used Jim the trim at Autotrim ltd in Denton. Did a great job replacing some leather seat panels in my seven.

When people talk about "the kit", are they referring to the "Leather restoration kit" or the "Leather Repair Kit" or the "Leather Colourant Kit"?

I ordered the colourant kit in the end as it has all the leather cleaners and a sealant,
