Default leather restore on driver and passenger seats

both seats are bad and of similar condition, so I tried some home remedies....i got some leather cleaner and dye from a company online called Furniture Clinic....they match the jaguar colour (oatmeal) exactly

The photo shows the difference between the finished and unfinished seat.

just letting it dry out before applying the finish

looks pretty good so far

Nice!

Did you only use the two products? I am interested in doing the same and I see they have many products.

Thank you,

I have just purchased some of their sealant to finish them off.

That seems to have worked a treat

Looks great! I checked out Furniture Clinic's website and under the oatmeal color match for Jaguar they said pale green was the color they were substituting. I don't want key lime seats so I was curious if your order said the same thing. Thanks!

yes it did give me the option, but i paid the extra £5 and had the actual colour match.

They have come out really well, just don't put too much on. Additionally i purchased some leather filler for a tear i had and that worked well too.

once i had put the sealer on, i left them 3 days and then put a coat of Lord Sheraton leather balm (off amazon) theyve come up really nice. total cost for both front and back seats was £50

Dont get me wrong, its by no means as good as a professional refurbishment but all in all Im really pleased with the result.
