This method certainly does add a little shine to the plastic. But that’s not really a bad thing. It improves the look so much, the shine is not offensive. And you can always buy a flat armor all to rub on the door bring it to a more natural flat look. Bottom line, nothing removes scratches better than heat. Thank you so much.

That's not dirt, it's pigment and word of warning people doing this, go easy, or you'll permanently damage the seat. The other bit, condition the seat right after.

Works a treat on the wife’s arse and front apron. So pleased I’ve stared reading books again before lights out. 👍🏻

Never start heating directly at the creases. Be sure to start away from it and work your way into and around it. That's the reason your creases are still visible. 9 years experience heating leather airplane seat covers.

question is how long will this last.. before the tightening wears off.. due to repeatitive seating

Damp leather will stretch and sag. Also shrinks easily with some humidity and heat A hairdryer is hot enough, just don't heat too much in one spot.

Hey man question if I accidentally get the shiny look like you said is their away to make that go away? Not even being Sarcastic I’m just wondering because I just did mine and it was kinda shiny

Can I do this on the interior of the Tesla? On the surface of the glove compartment

I just used a heat gun in combination with rubbing in leather conditioning oil so it didn't dry out on my 40 year old leather seats to get out wrinkles & it worked! I'd say it reduced the wrinkles by about 70%! :)

I have a somewhat compromised bolster on the driver seat. Thinking I'll try this. I saw people really bringing the foam back with steamers but I didn't wanna tear the seat apart to get directly to the bolster foam an reshape it

Thank you sir. Absolutely brilliant video. Clear concise and not too long.👏🏻👍🏻👊🏻

Looks like it picked up the black dye vs dirt.

Dang those heels lol 😂 hope you dressed pretty so at least it was worth it…. 👀🥵 LMFAOOOOO jk well kinda…. If you did wear heels I hope you did dress pretty lol 😂

Where did you get these taillights from?

Will it affect the heating in the heats?? This isnt long term repair??

This is a good video! Thanks for sharing! I will be using this method soon.

Can you just use a hair dryer?

Great video. I need to do on my seats. Thanks

But all shiny

cheers dude.

Does this technique work with alcantera?

I tried the method and it works for the moment, but it gets back to the baggy state after I sit on it.

Anyone who's done this, the black rubber seal at the base, does that protrude or does it remain on the inside of the bottle?

Would a good hair dryer work?

Good job and thanks man

How has it hld up all these years?

I did it today. It looks clean 😅

Zip ties? Nah. Velcro works a lot better. One guy uses magnets

I wiped about every 20 seconds with a damp microfiber cloth while applying heat. Worked really well.

Soon as you sit in it it'll go back to square one but good job

This looks like vinyl.

Saving this so I can restore the seats on my used car when I get it soon. Thanks for making this, it was really helpful without being too long.

If you do this every couple months would it prevent from getting the wrinkles? Or does using the leather cleaning and conditioner help prevent this?

Hey just wanted to say thanks. Really great information.

I do love videos like this. Repairing things is so good fun. Always amazing what you can do with a heat gun and the right attitude

Came looking, to do it for my car and it's the same seats great

Awesome! What about a sagging bolster on the seat, will this treatment help it as well? Thanks for the video!

Awesome! I have a paint zoom lying around think it works on the same principle. you think we can shoot foam using that ?

Are you still using this method?

My plastic clips were super stubborn but I found a trick. Loop a zip tie through the little slot on the clip, and then pull on the loop. Should pop right out.

Solution: Don't buy leather. Buy cloth.

If you have nice leather its best to keep a small vac and bottle of leather cleaner and conditioner so the leather doesn't crack . If you want to take it a step further you can ceramic coat the interior so it be protected longer and easy to clean

Awesome short term solution, if you don't change the cushion first, you ll be back where you started pretty soon!

Well done

Can i use a hair dryer instead?

People always say the leather is sagging.... that is so far from reality. It's actually the cheap foam compressed under it... the "cheap foam" expands from the heat and takes the shape closer to the original stitching of the leather. Leather doesn't shrink or expand in cold or heat like synthetic materials, and will last forever in a controlled environment. That is why real leather is expensive. Just for fun sometime you have some Styrofoam packaging, pound a big dent in it without cracking it. Hit it with that heat gun... Abracadabra... looks good as new. But don't be fooled. It loses its integrity and the first time someone sits on it... call it memory foam.. it compresses as before immediately. Great if you're selling a couch... tell them they can't sit on it until they get it home.

I did the heat gun on my sagging seat bottom and it was gone but appear back even worse sag in it 2-3 weeks afterwards!😫

Can you do this with a hair dryer?
