Thanks guys!

That's the S8 sorted, but I thought I'd do the A8 too. Paint colour isn't on the list: LY7R? It's a very pale blue - almost silver in some light.

Default I tried the Woolies stuff too

Not so good on a light coloured leather - the thing I really wanted to sort out was the mess made by a kiddy seat on the rear o/s seat. But the driver's seat was also a little tired. My pics aren't as detailed as Oli's, but a before and after of the 2seats shows the difference. And, as Oli says, they feel much better too. There was a particularly dry section on the driver's seat that is now almost as new.

What kit did you end up using? Have you tried steam?

Trick of the trade once seats are clean... Use gliptone or similar "conditioner" in direct sunlight. Keep applying it, and you will find that the intense heat with the conditioner "pops" the creases out.

So it's not shifting the mark from the car seat? Is the leather damaged, or really dirty there?

You can see the marks on the back of the seat if you closely at the photo. It doesn't appear to be dirt, more like scratching that's taken the colour away from the leather. It's better than before the treatment, but still visible.

Oli, Jim, Mike,

I'm thinking of this kit too, but my fundamental problem is that I don't believe in miracles

Does this stuff work permanently and long term?
Can I drive in white shirt after doing this thing?
How does your leather look now?
