  • Theyre not awful, just a few scuffs and grubby marks from my office chair. Maybe I am just being lazy and could do then myself. If there was a super convenient place I could get them done for a tenner I'd do that but I'd that's not the case I'll invest the elbow grease.

  • Unlikely. For a tenner you could get the stuff you need to do it a million times yourself.

    If the scuffs are deep (but not damaging the leather) you can use saddle soap. It will help scrub off the old polish and reduce the visible marks. When it dries and looks very matt you can work on top with some polish and a rag before buffing.

    Unless they are black, make sure you use a polish that is a shade lighter or you'll risk darkening the leather. After saddle soap and new polish they will look darker but dry lighter when the moisture evaporates.

    If they are really dry and dead some leather cream after the saddle soap but this can definitely darken the leather if you aren't careful. Takes longer before they're dry enough to polish too.
