Finally got myself a somewhat worn interior for my C900.  I don't mind if
its a bit shabby as the rest of the car is a bit tired too!

However, I believe SAAB made/make leather restoring kits in charcoal grey,
any tips as to where I might get one, other than SAAB of course, or on any
other products which will do the job.

As usual many thanks,
Al

I'm around - work's busy, so less time to post :-(

Best thing I've ever used on leather is saddle soap. My partner gets it
in huge tubs for her horse leather. It does a very good job of softening
and cleaning just about any leather. You can buy it from any equine or
agricultural shop.

Being an equestrian hobbyist myself, here's a secret passed on from old
hands with their dying breath: lukewarm water, fill halfway in a mixer (you
may mix a Margarita first, since you're about to work on the interior of the
car for a while). Put one or two sponfulls of saddle leather into the
lukewarm water. Mix for a while. The thick watery foam has amazing results.
Use a sponge to apply, a towel to rub off excess moisture.
