Or alternatively do a search on "leather" in just the Australian Forum

My seats are now 5 and a half years old and have had no care other than the occasional chamois to dry them after I have left the car outside with the roof down during a down pour.

Same as the leather lounge suites at home - 15+ years old and never been cleaned.

303 protectant for the roof and something like mothers leather cleaner for the seats. The cracks in the bolsters are going to happen with time, live with it and replace them when/if you get sick of looking at them.

Heya Austblue,
Can you buy the 303 in Australia or even the raggtopp product that they talk so much about??

Austblue

From the source....

Or if you want to buy in Australia you can contact your local upholstery shop or boat shops seem to stock it. Here's a link to an outboard cover manufacturer that distributes the product

And here's a list of their NSW resellers (not sure where you are)

Connelly Hide food works really well. It comes in a white plastic jar with a green lid, softens the leather and lifts out dirt. It takes a few days to dry fully so I normally put a sarong on the seat to avoid getting reside on my clothes.

Just dont use it on Suede.

I bought my bottle of 303 from some boat warehouse in Church Street Parramatta (near the prison).

I also bought some plexus for my plastic rear window from a Motorcycle accessory shop. The bike riders use it for their helmet visors.

303 and Raggtopp are as rare as hens teeth here in Sydney.
Matt G, where abouts on church street in Parramatta is the jail??? Is that on the side leading to north Parra, past Maccas??

MattG

OK I have looked them up.

If heading from Westfields, go past North Parra Maccas and keep driving.
It is a sort of industrial area.
