Thread: Marks on leather seats

I use baby wipes to keep the seats clean. They're meant to clean with out the harshness of alcohol or solvents.

I've found them to be a really effective & cheap solution.

Fitting took a while but fit is nice and tight. the only problem is that I have this strong urge to drive around the CBD wearing a Pith helmet and Bombay bloomers..

These look great too. Do you have any pics of them on your vehicle. All of the overseas Disco 4 covers seem to have photos of the seats with the grab handles either side of the headrest (which isn't on our ones).

Did you purchase directly from the Melville and Moon website or find a local distributer?

I also like the look of the Exmoor Trim canvas covers. http://exmoortrim.co.uk/images/stori..._web_logo9.jpg. Anyone had any experience with these? Again, they show the grab handles on the side of the head rests for the D4.

Thanks.

I bought them off their website. There is no distributor in OZ that I am aware of. Sith Ifricin D4s do not have the grab handles either. There is certainly no provision in the head rest covers for grab handles.
Cost inc. postage was similar and they had them on my doorstep in less than 2 weeks.. which was considerably quicker than the Oz distributor of Exmoor promised. Cost was about the same.. though I'm not sure the Exmoor product is as good. bonus was they came in a very nice canvas duffle, which sadly the War Office has commandeered..
Can't supply pics. at the moment as I'm overseas, but will try and remember when I'm home.
OH.. a word of warning... their website is full of very nice colonial safari reproduction furniture and luggage.. again War Office was bordering on doing some serious retail therapy! Actually the cost is very reasonable, its the shipping that is the killer. They will only entertain postage by DHL, which is quick, reliable,,.. but expensive. All up about AUD$850 to the door. (this is for front seats and 3 x second row)

Boggs - why do you call (presumably) your wife "War Office"?

I use and recommend Meguirs to look after our cars inside and out. They have an excellent leather maintainer as well as a cleaner. Not the cheapest but certainly the best. We have done 8000km since Christmas eve and gave the D4 a clean and polish the long weekend and I was quite impressed with the leather conditioner applied to the steering wheel, dishpans, doors and seats and it cleaned it all up quite nicely. No shiny or white residue and looks great

I used to use Meguiars too ............................... until I found Autoglym.

I just got some leather dye from the uk on eBay. Matched to my alpaca beige. Did a quick test this arvo and it seems to work nicely. This is the link. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...408769&alt=web
