After a feed;

I used loads of the stuff tbh, because it hadn't been done for so long

so it's all still a bit shiny at the moment, which will dull back I think/hope. With them that shiny, you can really see in the photo's the panels that had the most sun drying on them, the surface looks a bit 'scorched' in comparison to the others.

They feel better to sit on already though, all over - more supple.

Yep, first third gen.
A lucky find, but a loving home

Still plenty more work to do, but she'll get there.

Any update on turning those hard dried leather to SOFTNESS again?

If it works for u, i am buying too!
Which particular product? Is it liquid leather again?

And the air con?
As i am struggling to find a local supplier for RS24

I haven't done anything with the a/c on this one yet.

The good bits of the leather are noticeably softer. The bits that were quite dry are softer on the surface, but still a bit hard underneath. I think because they'd gone for so many years, they'll need feeding several times, over time, to get them back.

Liquid leather is the brand name of Gliptone.

I bought the GT12 cleaner and GT11 conditioner.
You've already given yours a good clean though, so I'd just go for the GT11 conditioner if I were you.

The website is a bit clunky, but it works.

Oh and the car smells gorgeous when you open the door now. Proper luxury leather smell
