after john and ian w recommended it, for the price of about £8 i thought id get some of that gliptone stuff and give it a go. came with cloths as well, not pictured nail brush acquired from asda. cost about 70p i think, can't remember got it when i was doing food shopping along with some trainer socks. odd things they are.





gone a bit brown ish has the leather in the last month. dirty job with tyres you see. have to clean this keyboard I'm typing on every few weeks.



half and half comparison as thats what people seem to take photos of.





much cleaner. needs another smashing over with some stuff and a nail brush. but generally miles cleaner. really impressed, so big thanks to john and ian w for the recommendation.



acquired some seat covers to go over the chair so i don't mark it from work again.

its gone up £1 since i purchased it off ebay as well. bargain even more

I hate Galiptone. Can't stand the smell, I also get to vicious with the cleaner and have been known to rub the dye off

Great results mate.

Give it 24 hours and the gliptone will be absorbed and will dry matt.

If leather is shiney it is because it is dirty and or worn or your cleaning agent has silicon in it.

Think I need to buy some leathers for the van so I can make a leather treatment thread also.

Or maybe we should have a leather treatment meet where we can discuss leather cleaning products and take photos of eachother cleaning our leather.

I think you needed to shine a sun lamp on the seat to properly show up the half and half picture.
