Leather interior care: cleaning, protection and colour repair
Interior leather ages predictably: first it darkens with dirt and grease, then it turns shiny, then it wears through to cracks — steering wheel, driver's bolster and armrest first. Each stage has its fix, and the earlier you start, the cheaper it is.
