I looked for a few quotes before choosing the guy who's doing mine got quoted between £500 and £1000...
Not really sure what to suggest if you dont have the money to spend at the moment .. its not cheap to have them refurbed and re-dyed sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Re: leather
To clean, first of use a bathroom soap like dove, theres not so many aditives in that brand. Use with some clean warm water, and a soft scrubing brush, aINKERMAN wrote:my money box is now empty, have secured a blue leather seats ,door cards etc etc (from a storm) now a little mankey and in need of good clean.

soft one tho. Then wipe off with a towel. Halfords do there own leather cleaner which i find just as good as the named ones, along with half the price. Apply with a cloth and then wipe dry.
Use a named feeder like auto-glem etc on the leather. Wipe on and then buff, as if you are polishing the car.
Ive also used leather shoe polish before, and then buffed it up. With my leather being black, it came out like new.
There is on the market a leather / cloth spray you can get and i have seen it used (by my dad) super results. I'll find out what it is called and post it.

Re: leather
There's a leather renovator that's had very good reviews in Practical Classics... I'll see if I can find out which one it is in an old copy.
