Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Leather cleaner/conditioner

When we got the Merc in 2011 it had pale sandy/stone leather.

Now almost 5 years on it is still amazingly clean, despite only occasional cleaning and feeding.

With the car we got a "Star Guard" leather care kit. In the kit is something that looks like solid stick deodourant, but is a stain remover which has successfully removed blue jeans dye and what I thnk was ball point pen stain.

No idea where to get it, but it seems to be a waxy based solid detergent. Talk to a leather care expert.

BUT to be honest I'm less than impressed with the Morgan leather quality. The Merc has 2x the milage of the Morgan and similar "sports" seats, yet there is NO surface wear on the side bolsters. My seats look like those in Pandy's post, same colour and equally scuffed.
I've treated them with the same leather dressing dye, with equally good results. But it shouldn't happen at 15 months and 20,000 miles.

Try Furniture Clinic.
They do some great products.
Car stuff not just furniture!
Decent "how to" videos too.
Try search on youtube for videos as well.

+1 for furniture clinic products.

Passenger clothing must be vetted at all times for potential damage to leather.

Scratched, Liquid Leather do a cleaning restoration kit, it comes with cleaning fluid to remove marks and dirt, degreaser and finishing dye if needed. Give them a ring they will advise. You may need to send an off cut for exact match for liquid leather, it can be sorted easily don't panic.

A lot of modern cars with leather isn't actually leather and if it is it feels very synthetic

The leather in the Morgan is similar to that in the old 80's Aston and Rolls.....I'm sure it's of far better quality than modern German cars but probably doesn't wear as well but mellows and ages with a nice patina. Look after it well and it will last forever

Gliptone I am told is water based and the best food out there. The Rolls guys swear by Leatherique

We've used this too on a leather armchair. Very good.

Thanks all, I have ordered some of the Furniture Clinic Dye/Stain remover and will post how I go on. If it doesn't work then I'll give the others a try.

Sometimes it pays to "get the man in" ?

Phone your local Bentley service department and ask them who they recommend for renovation of interiors. In many cases they have a small specialist that does all the cleaning and restoration who is a wizard and actually turns out quite good value.

I had a friend with a MB Nappa+ interior which got hit by three pairs of wet jeans and turned a funny colour. They used the local Bentley contact and it was near perfect.

The knowledge they have of these problems can save a lot of time.

Just a suggestion.

You just need to try and avoid them painting the leather.

Just an update on the leather issue, I bought some Furniture Clinic Dye/Stain remover and whilst it didn't manage to remove all of the staining, it did considerably better than the other products I mentioned, so thanks for the tip and if nobody has any other suggestions then a trip to the local expert (whoever he may be) is next.
