Seat Belt wear on leather seats

[lewis1962]

I have a problem with seat belt marks on my Coral Red seats.

I've used Dodo Juice Leather Cleaner to spruce up the seats which has done a great job, but it can't get rid of the mark caused by the seat belt.

Does anyone know of a suitable alternative ?

Cheers

thanks, i've managed to persist and get the black marks off. The leather colour has been worn down a small bit, I'll use the covers to prevent further wear

Actually, I use sheepskin belt covers, made to measure (15", I think - the distance from the buckle in its rest position to the buckle stop), by this company. They're excellent.

Those Wilko's ones look like they'll do the job on leather and for three quid you can throw them away when they're dirty, which they will with the roof down.

My problem is the dreaded Alcantara* seat panels, which both rub and are a bu//er to clean**. And, on mine, they're Ivory White.

I think you might be right about that! I can remember where but I once read an article stating something similar. Personally I can't stand the stuff and it looks crap after some use.
