Default How to recondition OEM seats and OEM softtop? Dye? cleaner? what?

Hi there,

my s2000 red seats are quite warn and cracked, what can I do besides replace them? any way to recondition them of some sorts? using a red dye or whatnot to fill in the scratches?

and with the OEM soft top, mine s a bit discolored and brown- is there a black spray/paint/stainer/protector that I can use to get back that brand new black?

Chris

I've got some red dye rub in specially mixed for s2000 red leather seats. It worked great on my seats. PM me if you're interested in buying some.

Leatherique works well for cleaning and conditioning. If the color is faded, it won't really get them back. You could always get some used seats or Sparcos, Recaros, etc. Another option is to reupholster them with some skins from leatherseats.com. I used them once before and it turned out great. GL

The stuff that's popular over here is Duragloss 301 for the roof and then I use some stuff called Gliptone for the leather, makes it look like new again and has a nice real leather smell too!
