Peeps,

I have coral red and there is some wear showing on drivers bolster, so need to restore that somehow. Also want to spruce up the rest of the seats with a nice Matt finish.

Finally want to bring the plastics inside up to a nice Matt even finish as well.

Please let me know what you recommend product wise to achieve the above.

I recommend leather clinic there kits are easy to use with excellent results

I too would like to get the dashboard back to a matt finish..... it's way too shiney!

I've tried matt sprays from halfords etc but they are crap!

[wallsmk2]

a product I use on the ordinarily very shiny vinyl on the dino is http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interi.../prod_328.html It leaves a nice matt finish with no residue.

I use this http://www.lttsolutions.co.uk/ for the leather. I'd imagine dr leather is a very similar concept where painted leather only needs cleaning and protecting. It leaves a very matt finish.

Jammy the leather clinic do a matt finish sealant it's £9.99 for 250mm that will work on your dash but make sure it's clean and free of contaminate before applying

Mate, have you got a link..... Google is giving me too many replies!?

[Jamese93]

Be very bloody careful!!

Clean the dash with a weak solution of washing up liquid with a sponge, keep the sponge quite dry will get the pikey shiny look off it, it's cheap silicon spray that's done that.

Re leather also be careful. Can you not get a professional in like leather better or something?

Be careful when trying to DIY leather or it will look like a council estate cortina...!

Good luck :-)

Mate,

Im getting a bit confused with all this stuff, I have scuffs on my coral red drivers seat - so what do you reccomend ? Just a leather finish isnt going to help I dont think ?

Some pointers ? I need a dye of some sort I expect ?

[wallsmk2]

lots of places do dyes for scuffs etc. Liquid leather is probably the most popular http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm But LTT are well respected http://www.lttsolutions.co.uk/index....-products.html

Swissvax also do dyes and I've seen repair work on Ferrari bolsters which look perfect. It's pricey through http://www.swissvax.co.uk/product_de...ther_dye_150ml

I've got black dakota leather in my car and Im using Guard X to treat the leather. It gives the seats a beautifull matte look. It comes as a spray in a can and its very easy to apply and leaves nothing behind but beautifull looking seats Its a bit pricey though..approx £20 a can lol

Clean the leather with Gliptone Leather Cleaner and protect with Gtechniq L1.

For scruffs/wear use the Gliptone Scuffmaster Kit.

Clean the plastics with an APC and dress with Poorboys Natural Look Dressing or Espuma Dasheen.

What's an APC?

[Bmw10]

All purpose cleaner

[jimbo666]

Autosmart G101 as an APC.

[DMH-01]

Tesco Daisy APC is quite good and it's under £1.

Most of the time I use Megs APC or Espuma G202.

[lolololol]

Thanks for all the responses people - muchos grassy arse

Warning - do not use this on your dashboard! It has left my dash all white & crusty! What's worse I can not get it off!

I'm having to buy a replacement dash as I can't handle the crust!

Be very careful using stuff on your dash! I've learnt the hard way!

Personally I'd only ever use a dressing on the dash.

Have you contacted Furniture Clinic? Their customer service is pretty good.

I haven't actually..... I will drop them a email

[Dsport]

Oh no Jammy what have you done, It's worked a treat in mine, sounds like there is something on your dash that's not letting it soak in, or you have put too much on without letting it dry
It will come off with alcohol cleaner
