If you cant sort it out with a cream or treatment. You would be amazed what you can pay for a nice set of seats at a scrapyard.... Its far cheaper then having to recover it

Meguiars works well when cleaning and re conditioning leather but can't restore the colour. However Meguiars did cause me to get my leather re-dyed.
It was the Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather Foam Cleaner / Conditioner. On applying it onto the seat i did notice it was not foaming as usual, rather a thin runny liquid poured out. Being a complete idiot i continued to use it on the rest of the interior. Since my e46 M3 had shark grey seats i made it a habit to clean them often. By now as usual i was very happy, because treating leather is quite a tiresome process, however standing back to have a look at my work i notice streaks on the seats. Again i begin to clean them again with the same Meguiars product, to no avail. I then went on to use other products to remove the streaks this time just lighting them but still hitting a dead end.
The car was just over 3 years old at the time so i was really piss because i had to fork out over 4k to get them re-dyed, along with the door pads.
I don't know where you based, but Colour-Glo did the job and what a job it was. The interior looked the same as the day i had picked it up from the dealership.
Give them a call, i stand corrected but i'm sure they have agents around the country.
