Boot Polish

[GT-Steve]

Got a nice black Flite Ti in the post today, and it's in very good condition, apart from the black of the leather is wearing thin. Other than that, it's not ripped or buggered, so do I leave it 'as-is' with character?

Or do I get the black kiwi polish out, and have a go at making it look better????

Bit of super glue over them holes to seal them then black kiwi or a lovely finish, thats what i'd do

I use Gliptone for re colouring saddles. I use it when restoring cars and get excellent results. It doesn't come off on your clothes when wet either like boot polish will.

Cheers Si,

Not heard of Gliptone before so carried out a quick search - found lots of their leather conditioner and cleaner, but nothing to colour the leather back to black.... :?

You need to look for the Liquid Leather Dye Kit. They do every colour under the sun.

Nice one, cheers,

I'll investigate a little further.
