I wish I had taken pics of the worse areas, but didn't. I started by cleaning, using Gliptone cleaner. This lifted a lot of dirt. But ultimately didn't change appearance. They felt dry after, so began conditioning them with any and every leather conditioner, repeated whenever I had nothing better to do over last few weeks. They were now lovely and soft again. Then got some Rover Buckskin Gliptone Scuffmaster. Endless evenings of sitting in a deckchair dabbing away with a sponge, no rush. It seemed to stick to the vinyl bits too, so kept at it,band completed yesterday. Hope it lasts, I am pleased so far, good enough I reckon. Photo makes them lighter than in reality, colour match is good in natural light.
