    That looks spot on!

    Does it come off on your clothes though

    Wonder how log it lasts before you need to re-apply

    Might have to invest
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    It says if you " buff " the excess off there is no transfer onto clothing, says on the tub 12 months before re-applying. Good stuff mate.

    To be honest mate, 5 minutes to apply, 5 minutes too buff off the excess, but its best to leave on for 10 - 15 minutes to let it " soak in " ive done the whole car all 7 seats in less than 45 minutes, and it looks like new.

    You get a 330ml tub and ive not even used a 1/4.

    Id highly recommend it.

    That's certainly quite cheap. Is is better than Gliptone's Liquid Leather Repair?

    I don't see how it can be TBH.. as the Gliptone Liquid Leather is a complete treatment (as is the Swissvax etc) - you clean the seats first, dye/repair them and the condition them (feed the leather).. this appears to just dye or cover up marks on the leather?? here's a 'how to' i did with the Liquid Leather:

    Having used the stuff that cameron used I can say for the price that it does a good job. Ok it may not condition the leather but for those of us on a budget it gives a damn good effect that's not a million miles away from what you'd get with the expensive stuff.

    Personally I would be very wary of any wipe on buff off products, as 'leather' car seats, are treated and are similar to a corrected grain leather.

    Many leather products work perfectly fine on leather, however its similar to cleaning your car with autosol metal polish because bodywork is metal.

    I supose that one way to look at it, apparently fairy liquid brings up paintwork fairly well, and is far cheaper than Megs products, nuff said
