My leather restoration

Recommended Posts

So I got a bit bored today and thought I’d go on a hunt for some stuff to try and fix the leather a bit more… I found some pretty good stuff and was cheap as chips, wasn’t especially for car leather but it seemed to recolour it well and it actually feels much more softer although the interior now smells like shoes..

Its called Waproo its a coloured shoe cream. It was like $7 i think for a 50g jar, I got it in Navy, I think they just have the basic colours.. Black, White, Navy and Tan and proberbly Dark brown... Not that people have leather in any other colours than those but can maybe prove difficult if you have an obscure shade.

looks real good man. Do you reckon theres any chance of people getting off your seats with Navy blue clothes, or does it seem to stick pretty well?

Mike - No colouring should come off aslong as it has been buffed up after its dried but to be sure I wont be wearing white for a while, and also want to see how long it lasts as it seems to have worked too well for something so cheap and easy to do!

They might have grey, If need be i can go back ot the store and have a look

Awesome!! Your seats look so good!! Ive been trying to get around and look for a place to restore my tan colour seats. But now I can just do it the budget way! :) Is there any luck in finding that product around Botany area. Did you get it from a shoe store?
