You're very welcome

Got one for myself and thought you may want one. Also got the uprated seat thermostats today so I'll send you a set when I get chance.

Just thought I would mention these: http://www.neutradol.com/component/v...&category_id=6
I use it in my cars, and I've just got a new one for the Rover. It's quite handy in the fact that it can be Velcro'd into position (supplied with pack) and re-filled. The perfect place I found to stick it was under the dash above the passenger footwell, out of sight and out of harms way.
I like them because they actually don't smell, but get rid of any bad smells! I personally hate that overpowering smell of air-fresheners! So artificial.
Not only that they are reasonably priced, http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165595 where I get them.
Apologies for the interuption..... Ciao.

So am I. They've arrived but I've not even had chance to unpack them
Going to cure that on Wednesday afternoon

Giving serious consideration to getting them professionally cleaned and restored. Just depends on the condition when I do unwrap them. There's a company near Blackpool that does this job so I'm going to give them a ring.

bill, gliptone if you are not familiar is the best cleaner conditioner available for leather seats.jaguar owners club,aston martin to name but a few endorse this product.

once this product is applied to the seats the performance of the cleaner and the odour from the conditioner is very addictive.

i had a member visit me and i gave him a sample of the product on his drivers seat,he was smitten

Default Gliptone

Totally agree. I have the Gliptone cleaner and conditioner, and it's quite simply the best i have tried, and as for the smell, it is very addictive....Anybody with leather seats should give this product a go.

I visited a supplier in Luton with a mate and we bought several bottles back in the summer. He did have the Gliptone air fresheners as well and it has one of those smells you either love or hate. Personally, I love it! I gather it is the best application for prolonging/restoring the life of leather seats.

Default talking about Gliptone

Hi folks
While the subject is on Gliptone, its obvious that many on this forum reccomend it, ive had a little look on E-Bay and it seems there are many different Gliptone cleaners and conditioners. I have had my sandstone beige tourer for six months and the leather aint in bad nick for a 7 year old car, any reccomendations as to which one's i should start with.
thanks
Gary
