Stew Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Having a look for some Gliptone for my seats. Which one should I go for? I know Gixxeruk has had great results with this so want to give it a go. Just want to make sure I get the best one for my cash! Quote
martinmac Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I have some great stuff Stew, will post some pics up so you get the right stuff Quote
mec Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah it's loads better than Zymol or halfords own brand... the conditioner does make it smell all leathery again. Quote
haylabamba Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Is Gliptone readily available in the likes of Halfords? Quote
mec Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 haylabamba I got mine off of ebay, it's about £13 all in. I don't think that halfords stock it. Quote
Stew Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 I bought some. I see Mike bought some too! I'll let you know how I go with it. I might do my dads Rangie with it too as they are cream...... and minging! Quote
mec Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 It's great stuff, unlike the halfords one which make the leather feel plastic and glossy... this stuff makes it feel soft and smell like new leather I read somewhere that if you mix the conditioner with shoe polish it helps colour in scuffs and locks in the colour... haven't tried it yet but i'm thinking about as the bolster is taking a bit of a bashing.

Stew Posted July 19, 2008 Author Posted July 19, 2008 Recieved in the post today. Was tempted to go do it when I woke up but couldn't be bothered. I'll do it when I finish nights! Quote

clarkie34 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Got both cleaner and conditioner on wednesday. Treated both seats and gear lever gaiter with it and the results are brilliant. Leaves a nice clean matt finish and really smells of leather. Highly recommended. Quote
Stew Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Superb stuff. I did this last week and was really pleased with the finish. I think I'm gonna go through a lot of this stuff! Quote
