Leather reconditioning and recolouring.
A Modern Approach
Named after the famous connolly leather company who for many years supplied full leather interiors for Aston-Martin and Rolls-Royce. "Connollising" has become the name given to methods of re-colouring and reconditioning leather upholstery.
We now use modern products that are soft, flexible and hardwearing, with great coverage and guaranteed not to peel or fade.
This is the ideal solution for worn, cracked and faded leather, as well as for scuffs and cigarette burns.T "Work was carried out to the highest standard" we use tried and tested colours and coatings. We don't repair systems that little more that temporary cover-ups which can be wiped of in the process of normal valeting.
