Have you used this?
For cleaning, If the seats have not been redyed, Spray on some all purpose cleaner and wipe with a microfibre, if they are really dirty you can use a scrubbing brush no problem (as long as they've not been redyed) Dry off properly with a microfibre and then apply some leather conditioner.
I use Meguiars Mirror Bright Leather lotion, then sniff the seats!
I can also recommend the mirror bright detailing spray....both work very well Indeed AND smell amazing.

I really rate the Meguiars gear. I use it professionally for my detailing. Some traders i work for have Autoglym and tbh there's not one of their products I'd choose over a Meguiars equivalent.

If the leather is worn no amount of cleaning will restore them. Unless you use a dye based product.
The process would be use of a product to strip back existing coatings. Repair of any damaged leather. Redye. Protective coat.
I've just had a seat done by a pro for £75 in Swansea and it looks like new now.
who did you use bud for getting the seat done, would love to get my driveers done ?
He's in Swansea, all of about 1 mile away from us! His name's Antonio and he works from home/mobile.

I'm very happy with the job he did for me. Hopefully he can do the same for you but I won't pretend I know the guy well or have any more experience than that.
I would post a pic but in Swansea for another 10 days.
Suffice to say the seat started off like this and aside from the loss of a little leather texture on the bolster which was impossible to bring back the seat could be mistaken for as new now. He's even managed to tighten up the saggy leather on the base. Of course how long it stays looking like this for I don't know. Hopefully permanent!

I've just seen this thread & I have today used the Renovo black leather reviver on my Z4 seats & I'm quite impressed with the results. For a tub of this stuff costing under £13.00 in my opinion it's worth a try. To be fair for leather in poor condition it may require a few applications, but I'm happy with the results I got with just one application but my leather was just a bit scruffy in places - and it's smells nice too!
