AMT Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Right, I drive my mate into work every day, he has gel on the back of his head, when I go quick his head goes backwards lol, now despite the rather obvious photo, you can't actually see it much during the day only seems to be when its cold it stands out a bit and it looks bad their cos the flash has highlighted it. Its softer feeling around the area affected, anyone got any good leather products that might remove the mark at all??.... Cheers!

4RE Leather Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If its discoloured after you cleaned it I can offer you an exchange service or recolour yours. The main thing is to try and avoid rubbing the oil into the remainder of the leather as this makes it shiney which is the result of grime and sweat. When they left the factory they were matt. Most of the off the shelf Halfords stuff only cleans the surface and pushes most of the crap into the leather. After a while the leather dries out because it cant breath and cracks. Dont be scared to use a mild solvent dabbing it on with lint free cloth which will draw the crap back up to the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Its called "BOND IT" PVC Solvent cleaner. used mainly for getting the black marks off you double glazing frames. Only use it as a last resort. Its quite mild compared to thinners and thats something you dont use on Zed leather. Lint free by definition in this case for instance is a microfiber cloth.

AMT Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 So basically don't use this...aargh, a mate suggested a dab of fairy liquid n' water damp cloth ?? Is fairy liquid a mild solvent of sorts? pml Arrgh damn hair gel of his and damn me accelerating hard when I want to So what would I try first? It definatly feels softer and different. Rub with a cloth and water or would that be making it worse??... Am gonna end up gettin cheap dark headrest covers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi 4RE Leather. I'm thinking of cleaning mine with leather wipes and then using Auto Glym Leather care balm. Worked OK on my R32 seats, what do you think for the Zed ?. :sun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leofin Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 HI, what about small "cracks" on the leather, like lines... can these be healed somehow- has anyone tried? My seats are black, about 5 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
