If you bend a bit of plastic trim so it goes white at the stress point, gently heat with a heat gun or hairdryer, and in a couple of ticks, the white has gone, the plastic is no longer under stress and will last alot longer!"

Do you know what "Nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c*nt... me.

Does that also mean you can do the same with saggy skin, after all that's what leather was originally, who needs face cream now.  Jon |

Erm, I wouldn't really recommend that Jon!  Leather has usually been tanned. But then so have I been when on holiday - nah, think I'll keep my youthful, good looks, ta!  |

So u walk in a Chemist and say its not for ME  it's for my leather seats  Don't they give you funny looks ? ~ Any good remedies for cleaning leather other than leather cleaner ?? Dreft handwash powder mixed with warm water, nice clean cloth, make sure cloth is rung out, wipe over leather, repeat then treat with a good leather treatment. Job done...... |

Will try that on my sofa then Will save me buying silly leather wipes.. Hairspray gets rid of pen and marker pen marks.. Exactly what the shop told me to do with my cream leather suit, use dreft or snowflakes but dont saturate with water etc!! works a treat and shifts the muck. |

Ur cream leather suite or suit ? I have some Fairy is that any good?
Suite..... fairy No!!! its got to be a handwash powder which caters for the more delicate of items. Machine powders have bleaching agents and other nasty chemicals added to them to remove the toughest of stains, such as skidders...................... etc ,etc, |
