Just a minor update on Woolies (I still need to finish the drivers seat ).
My rear seats have marks that show child seats have been there in the past, one having a couple of tears on the front edge that were rather visible.

I treated them very locally with Woolies products and, while the marks are still visible if you know and look they are much much better than they were.
Before and after close-up pictures attached:

HP, thanks for pictures. Seats look much better. Also got Wollies kit after Liard's recommendation. Not applied it fully yet, but will do soon!

Those seats are actually cream by the way, I just randomly picked up the phone (recently water-damaged ) with the weird white balance that makes them look more like platinum.

Hi Guys,
Not sure if I am missing something here looking at the cost of Woolies . I cleaned my Ecru leather (beige) with a basic leather cleaner working it into the creases which removed the dirt that collects there. Once clean all I then did was to smooth in some shoe polish of the same colour, waited for this to dry and then polished off with a microfiber cloth. The results were amazing. A second coat added more colour and depth to the appearance of the leather. Most of us have been cleaning leather shoes in this manner for many years with great success
