Worn Leather - 4/2/2008 6:34:32 PM

I have leather seats in my Blazer and as I would expect ten years of getting in and out of it would do, the drivers seat is a little worn. The condition of the leather is quite sound. There is no tears or anything, but it looks abraded. Does anybody know of any good products that I could use to bring the color back in my seats? Here is a pic so you know better what I am talking about.

i wouldn't mess with leather myself, i'd take it in somewhere and get it repaired..

my 2002 explorer i had previously had leather in it and I was religious with conditioning and cleaning, i never wanted it to look like that.. ( I miss leather)

I bought the Blazer used. Since I have owned it I have been religious about cleaning and conditioning it. That stuff is mad expensive. Does anybody know of anything else that is a little cheaper. At this point I think I am just at the point where I am slowing the aging process any suggestions anyone?

just take it somewhere and get quotes to repair, i would suggest going to furniture repair places rather then interior uphosterers that specifically deal with autos. probably be a little cheaper at the furniture stores.

I use Armor All Leather Care gel. It's pretty cheap at Walmart and seems to do well. However, my drivers seat is worn all the way through to the foam underneath.

You will squeak as you move around for the first day or two after putting it on... squeakysqueakysqueaky

The vinyl and leather repair business here is fairly resonable. They can replace JUST the damaged section and match it nicely....I had a few areas 2 times larger than you have and it was 150 bucks....

OK, now I have to just find a leather and vinyl repair place near here. Does anybody know of any off-hand near the Fort Riley Area??
