Check out a company called Color-Plus here in the states. They sell both leather conditioners and dyes. I have spoke to the owner over the phone and they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Good luck!

Seen the picture?
The original color can be seen where the rear seat belt normaly rests and at the bottom of the door. Both places are protected from the mercyless sun we have here in the UK :-(
Also note the darkening patina effect on the handle making it look darker again.
At the top of the rear seat, where the sun is stongest and on the back of the rear headrests the bleaching effect of the sun has even removed the light brown color further. It now looks greenish - I believe thats the color of the acid to get the flesh of the freshly skinned leather.

How could I clean the leather. It got stains and looks grubby( door handles ) or even better get the whole lot stained back to the original color. What can be done?
