Saddle's not in the house right now, will get some up tomorrow night (off to see SBD in the morning :) )
Seem to recall someone managing to freshen up a saddle with some of that stuff they use on car bumpers, or did I imagine it...?

MartyC:
Various ways to revive a saddle depending on the make, the colour and texture.  Deffo need pics.

griff:
Sorry, didn't get back till late - will get some pics up ASAP

griff:
Ok sorry for late follow up but had a few things going on

Gave the seat a bit of a clean up and took some shite iPhone pics, but here's a brief summary
Top of saddle is textured, but looks like it's been put on the ground at some point in its life
Sides are smooth and have the odd fine mark
Rails & guts need a clean up
Biggest issue though is on one of the 'loop' thingies at the back, when it arrived one of them was sticking out of the package & it looked like the postie had dragged it down a rough wall (Cnut) while I've been able to gently file off some of the worst snags it still looks a bit worn down :(









Just found out Mrs griff actually has some citric acid powder in stock (apparently it can be used for things other than restoring bike bits - imagine that?!) so will try the seat guts in that, any suggestions for something to help revive the plastic gratefully received x

griff:
Actually looking at those pics it doesn't look that bad, it's a bit worse in real life up close
