Leather Care

The re-varnishing of the wood in the centre console of my XJ40 went
well, except for some brush marks on the finish. Only issue now is
of course I've got to do the rest to match the darkness of the
newly stained pieces since it shows up how faded the rest of the
veneer is.

But first I discovered a long crack had developed in a crease
in the leather of the driver's seat. I used JB-Weld LeatherWeld to
repair it, which seems to be working, after a long time trying to
get the colour match right. I'll see how long it lasts...

I confess I've never done much to the leather before besides
cleaning it with a damp cloth. I had a hunt around the shed and
found a bottle of Selley's Leather Clean 3in1 and another of
Zanolin leather conditioner. I've tried these and although the
Zanolin makes the seats more slippery they don't seem to have
made the leather much softer in order to avoid the creases which
caused the crack. Anyone know some good products to use on Jag seat
leather?

Mind you even if I actually get a reply here, most brands suggested
elsewhere online seem to be hard to find here in Australia.
