Leather care

Post by TurkS4 » Wed May 21, 2003 8:06 pm

Gents,

Any way to remove scratch marks from Leather seats.

Sometimes, when getting into the car, my big butt gets in the way and the button on me trouser back pocket scrapes on the side walls of my seats leaving a lovely scratch mark [img]images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Bloody eye sore each time I open the door to get in my pride and joy.

Cheers

It depends how deep the scratches are

You can either use a good cleaner & conditioner to keep the leather supply so as to reduce scratches

Obviously the meguiars 2 stage is good [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img] on special to this forum at £18 inc a towel

Or if the leather has lost its suppleness then the scratch has broken through the surface, like a scuff on your shoe, then you need to look towards a product to hide the scratch, like shoe polish or certain vinyl paints available from Halfords and the like

Good luck

Thanks Bushy...

Scratch is like a scuff mark, so i'll have a look in halfords to see if they have a Tan vinyl. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Thanks for your support Jeff


I assume that is a sarcastic comment......I know that people that suffer with pain for extended periods can get a little niggly.... [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

For the record I've never tried Megiars but I sure that it is the equal of Swissol or Zymol. I'm not trying to pinch your customers as I sell IT Security products not cleaning products....

How is your back....getting any better ?
