Hi,

Just sold my UK94 and bought a motor. The leather needs a feed to make it lovely and soft again and give it that smell.

The guy has smoked in it previously... Any ideas on what to use ?


Cheers

Clean it with mild soap and water then feed it with Neatsfoot oil.
I had an old Turbo Esprit and the leather was really dry when I bought it. It was a horsey person who gave me the oil, it's commonly used on saddles apparently. It really amazed me how well it came up. I thought I'd have to get a retrim before I tried it. It takes a day or two to dry in properly but it's worth a go.
