Dave Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Common problem with them mate. TBH, the leather used on the ES/VTi models is pretty crap quality compared to the stuff they used on early cars. The MA models had a leather option (no ma's or mb1's came standard with it) and the quality difference is like night and day!Im not sure what products you can recoat it with, but try the leather conditioner/cleaner packs. These should restore some lusture back into it. You can get leather dye, not sure where from tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottravenhill Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 i just went over it with some black shoe polish to stain it black, you know the stuff that is like a liquid bottle with a sponge attached to the nozzle, ended up doing all the leather in the car and buffed it to a real good shine, looked brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
