Seat dye, polish rejuvenation

[jamesmckenzie]

Hello,

 

I've got light wear on the drivers entry bolster with the fabled white creases showing. I've seen somewhere a product that you can massage/polish a die(?) into the leather to bring the colour back again.

I have the dark blue interior colour with leatherette seat squabs.

Any help/recommendations greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

James

I've tried a lot of different coloured polishes, paints etc and found them all poor. Recently bought a kit from here  https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Applications?apid=2 which was mixed to my sample. Not used it yet but reviews are good.

I have always found that these guys get the colour right for dyes and have excellent cleaning and restoration products https://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/collections/colourlock

I recently used the furniture clinic colouring balm to recolour a cream BMW interior that had faded badly and unevenly. I had best results by mixing ivory and cream to the correct shade and building coats up. The only issue I had was that until you fix the colour using a spray sealer, applying a new coat lifts the previous ones if you’re not very careful. The end result was very presentable. I wouldn’t use for a full recolour but to address localised areas it worked fine.

I used this product to refurb parts of my linen leather seats 10 years ago. They provide a dye and a filler for deep cracks..

it takes a few applications and patience but did a great job and still lasting well.

they used to advertise in Porsche Post and will supply specific Porsche leather colours

Gliptone for me...

Cleaning and conditioning the leather is one process.  Using a dye is another.

The Gliptone Scuff Master does include dye, to go over/ buildup all the damaged and cracked areas.

They also do very good colour matched dyes by themselves for larger areas/jobs.

Sounds a good development Mark.  I have done a fair amount of restoration on seats and steering wheels and the prep was always the time consuming part.
