keeping black leather black

Post by K2 » Tue Oct 10, 2006 2:25 pm

I have a black leather interior in my RS4, and regularly clean /condition the seats and trim with Auto-Glym products. Does any one know if there is a product to keep the leather colour black, as it seems to be slightly fading with time? Or is this a specialist job?

Looks interesting, but having had a look through the site and before after shots, this product seems to be for seats that are way beyond mine, and a state of absolute neglect. Also seems to leave a high gloss finish. I want to get back to a Matt finish as original. The search continues.

Try www.liquidleather.com

They're the makers of the Liquid Leather Cleaners and Conditioners, they also produce a "Scuffmaster Kit" dirt cheap, easy to use and gives a permanent lasting finish. For around £13 it's astonishing value for money.

I know they have the Audi Black colour "on file" , the Silver may need a small sample for colour matching.

In either case I'd suggest contacting them via their site details to ensure you get sufficient quantity for your needs.

Looks like it could be the solution Dave, thanks. I have also found people advertising Conollising who specialise in reconditioning seats, but this may be a little ott for what i need. The link to one of the sites that does this is below.

I know its been a while, but if you didn't find any solution, K2,
you should try the Meguiars leather care product.
I were cleaning and putting leather products, and I thought they were very good (Armorall, GS27), but I think the difference between a "good" and a "bad" leather product is a matter of density of the liquid. Both armorall and GS27 are thin liquids, and they only provide cleaning and a shiny effect on your seats. The meguiars one doesn't make your seats shiny (first I was thought that it wasn't working) but it nourish them.
