    Hi All

    Can anyone recommend a product to be used for a badly damaged (what used to be...) a lovely deep brown coloured leather sofa?

    It's been damaged over the last few years from the sun and the leather is now very dry.

    Thank you muchly!

    Basically you need to get plenty of moisture back into it. Probably best to ask a Sadlers or Horsey type shop. As to restoring there is some very good products for doing just that used in the motor trade. Maybe a question the the Motoring section might provide the name of a company who provide this service.

    If it's terribly gone, you may need to get it recoloured.
    They also sell leather dye for that purpose.

    I'm half thinking of doing their leather restoration course in February.
