I just used this product on my Porsche bolster. WOW!!! OEM baby. So glad I gave this a shot. Seat bolster looks new from the factory.
Thanks for the comment Stephen and glad your happy with the results!! Keep me posted if there is anything I can do to help.
5/27/21 Just used it! It works perfectly! Seats are back to brand new
boy is this a great tutorial ...........
Do these work well for going from black to white? Can you do a video on that?
You are doing good
How does it work on a steering wheel and when it dries do I put leather care on top to protect it
Niiice you just sold me your product with this video ! I will place an order asap ! I own a BMW E46 with gray leather interior and I want to make it look as good as possible . Hope you can deliver to Romania .
I just ordered 3 different size kits a few days ago. Excited. Thanks
We Appreciate YOU!!! If we can be of any help when you get them, please don’t hesitate to reach out! 💪🙏
Can I get semi glossy black to do my black interior which is in fair shape but I like it to freshen it up with some gloss since it’s a convertible
Can you use normal products for cleaning and care after this process?
This looks great. I contact you soon
Can I use this on my dash? I have a 2019 Rav 4 and the dash has what I think is scuff marks. I've tried everything to get it off and just ordered this stuff but am nervous to use it!
I'd like to go one shade lighter. My car is a medium parchment. I want the ivory FL 39. It is lighter and richer. Can I do that?
can this be sprayed through an airbrush?
Was seriously waiting on this dude to say alright alright alright
That’s hilarious!!! I’ve definitely heard that a time or two in my life!! 🤦♂️😂
Thanks for checking out the video! 🙏
Can you please show how to touch up a black leather steering wheel which has some worn areas?
Shouldn’t you have heated the surface before applying your dye? Would that help the leather pours open up, or relaxe and except more dye, and a deeper penetration?
I have a 2011 Mercedes E350. Black MB TEX not full leather. I have to remove the seat cover to Remove/Replace the heated seat pads. Since I will have the seat covers off anyway and a eight year old vehicle that was pretty much all SOCAL and Texas I figure good as time as any to freshen up the covers with a fresh dye. Will the process be easier with the covers removed or still installed? I was thinking of removing the seat covers and re dying while removed.
Hi Stephen,
I would recommend applying the dye over the leather with the covers on the seats. This will allow for full even coverage with the leather expanded as it will be when in use.
Thanks
Shawn
Is it possible to reduce the dye? If so can it be achieved with water or solvents? Just want to thin it out a little bit to shoot out of a smaller tip spray gun.
No name a little water will do the trick. No more than 10%.
Am I able to use your products to turn my Tan leather interior to a black leather? If so; what all would I need for a 2007 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 2 front seats & back seat & would you explain to me the process too
For sure!!! Here’s the link to our Leather Color Change Kit: autoleatherdye.com/collections/leather-repair-kits/products/automotive-leather-vinyl-color-changing-kit
do i apply the cream after it air dries for 4-6 hours?
I would wait 24 hours before applying the protection cream. But yes protecting your newly recolored leather is definitely recommended.
What kind of prep would I need to do if the car is brand new (less than 500 miles on it)? I'm looking to change my black seats to a mahogany color, and I'm wondering if their brand new condition is better or worse for adhesion. Like, is there a sealant of some sort that would make this a horrible idea?
Hi Rachel, Great question and yes a prep would definitely be necessary, even with new leather. A lot of times there is a protective top coat that must be broken down to allow for proper dye adhesion. Please reach out to us by email @ sales@autoleatherydye.com and we can certainly get you with the proper set up along with getting you the color you're looking for.
Do you have to put like a clear coat, for lack of better term, on after dying?
It’s not a required product as there is a top coat for sealing in the dye formulation. However it does add quite a bit of durability to the finished product.
Hello sir, I notice you have a product called adhesion promoter, what is that for? Is it a top coat/sealant? And how to use it? I am thinking apply that before and after the dyeing procedure.
Hello Yuze,
Leather Adhesion Promoter would be used after the prep and before the dye. It will take the adhesion of your recolor over the top!! Just apply it with a soft bristle paint brush and allow to dry before applying the dye. Very easy to use product and the results are amazing when used.
Thanks
Shawn
May i do it without the dryer just the heat of the sun
I have a tiny little bleach spot on my Lexus side bluster. Would I just put a little of this stuff on a q tip to touch up the area? Thanks!
That would work just fine to add the color back and blend it out.
Shawn Witt thanks!
Jake Seiler No problem brother!! If you have any questions or need any more help just let us know.
This looks nice🤙🏻 does it wear?
LONELYcheeseBOX in most cases, better than OEM. Thanks for checking out the video!!
Can I use this to turn the center section of a black leather seat to the GM Light Steel color?
theplayernkc definitely!! Being that automotive leather dye is a “coating” it will simply bond and cover from the surface.
@@autoleatherdye Thanks for the reply. Would I need to sand the black off of the seat center to get the GM Light Steel color to look better?
Fully removing the existing coating is not necessary. The gray scuff pad that comes with our kits mimics 1000 grit sandpaper so I would definitely recommend a good sanding just to open the pores a little. The new coating will be an opaque color once you have it "fully covered".
What would you suggest when it comes to dying gross beige leather interior
My interior is beige, been on the hunt for the answer to the same question
@@johnayala3695 Found out and now the interim is all black.
Just used a vinyl and fabric spray paint. A few coats later and it looks new
can you do a video on two toned leather car seats? want to k kw how to "tape off" or border off each color..
Yea you gotta tape it off really well
Maybe its just me, but it looks as if it changes the color to a degree. Near the back of the seat I can see a good bit of contrast. It could be the camera angle or how the light is hitting it. Could be just another worn spot. Still, If I am doing just a patch and not the whole seat, wouldn't it be necessary to have the exact color? I ask because there are some systems out there that you have to mix the dye yourself, using an airbrush gun, and the color is determined by a sample of the existing material using a spectrophotometer. Which is the better system? Obviously this one is a bit more user friendly and great for an enthusiast. But would there be a decrease in quality in regards to color, plasticity, and general texture? I know you will support your business, but I would like an honest and professional reply if you see this.
Thanks so much for the comment and the questions! In terms of a project being more simple, the closer the color, the better the blend. When you get into aged leathers, there is natural fade that starts to happen. When folks use oil based cleaners/conditioners, like what's easily accessible at our local automotive and big box stores, it will also start to develop a different patina on the leathers surface, therefor creating slight color variations away from the original color. Our "Standard" Automotive Formulas are mixed to match sample that come directly from Manufacturers and their interior availability options for each year and model. Even in that scenario, you can still have color variations.
So I would answer yes to having a color as close as possible to achieve a desirable result at completion of the job.
In terms of the system, whether mixed on hand or purchasing a pre matched dye, they are the same if they are mixed properly. Leather Dye consists of a Clear Base Product [ours includes the top coat as well, there's my sell for my product :)] and a color pigmentation system that when mixed properly is done so in a percentage Base/Pigment ratio. If you have to little pigment, you don't get the coverage. If you have too little base, the durability and feel with be affected. So its all about having a dye that mixed to the right ratio, with the right pigment colors and having a matching color. For the DIY restoration person, having the full 13 color pigment line, the low gloss base, the high gloss base, scales, empty bottles and a couple other things to have a full workable "Dye Creation" station, its much more cost effective to just order pre matched colors or submit a sample to have a custom color created matched to your sample, including sheen matching as well.
If you're making many many dye colors, having the system on hand can save some overall money once the initial cost has been spent to get everything you need. All of this is before having the color knowledge to mix the colors from scratch as well.
So to end, its really hand in hand as long as the dye doesn't get affected from a mismatched % ratio.
I hope I answered your questions and if you would like to reach out to me, we can certainly pick this up and see if there is something I can do to further help you out. My email is sales@autoleatherdye.com
Thanks again!!!
Shawn
How does this dye hold up in hot California sun and dry heat? How long would you say the coat holds up on normally used leather seat?
It should hold up just fine. We sell a ton of dye into CA and have never had a complaint about it breaking down from the sun. Our Automotive leather dye is OEM quality and has passed the OEM durability(rub and staining resistance) for many major automotive manufacturers including BMW, Ford, Lexus, Toyota among others. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy the process is and how well it works and holds up. If there are any questions we can answer please reach out to us at 1-833-AUTODYE(288-6393) Thanks for watching the video!!
what if you just want to darken brown leather seats to a darker shade in a new car?
Can this Dye be sprayed ?
Most definitely and I prefer to spray whenever possible!!
Is that a magic eraser?
Q. Tech Most definitely not!!! Magic erasers will remove the finish creating a problem like I am fixing in this video.
My wife car did the same thing. She has the same color seats. Her spots were black. Ron Carter Hyundai sold us this extended warranty and some leather company did the dye. Well they missed a big spot in the front of the seat and now the seat is darker then all of the other seats. I didn't take the car home because I was pissed. Can they correct the entire front of the seat?
As long as they have the right color dye that shouldn't be an issue. Truly you could so it just as good as they can!! Let me know if we can help!
@@autoleatherdye I won't be doing because I paid a lot of money when I bought her car in 2013 for that extended warranty so their going to get it right. It posses me off because they seem to not see the darker color. Then they said it was because it had conditioner on it and the others didn't 😂😂.
@@slimsampy4764 I definitely understand your feelings!! Sounds like standard "Dont want to make it right excuses to me"!! I hope you are able to get it worked out and don't hesitate to reach out if I can help in any way!! Thanks for watching the video and checking us out!!
Can this be sprayed from a spray gun?
No name Definitely and I prefer to spray. It will lay down really nice. Spray light multiple coats, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun on low temp to cure the dye before applying the next coat. That really helps speed up the process. Keep me posted on how it goes or if we can help!!
Luxury Leather Repair sweet. Yea I just did some test passes with a 1.3 tip, just had to close the fluid needle a bit and layed down really nice also used less product 👍
No name Nice!! Happy New Year!! Thanks a ton for your support!! We’re here if you need us!!
Luxury Leather Repair happy new year!! 👍
@@autoleatherdye do you need to thin the paint down with water?
is it possible to dye black leather into a cream color?
That is possible as automotive leather dye is a coating. However you certainly can expect to use a more dye.
Re duy bmw car seats specialist in gauteng
how is the durability? They must have rubbed it pretty heavily to wear it but how does this product stack up to the stock dye.
Durability is OEM specs. This is the same dye used my many major manufacturers around the world.
How do I place an order
You can order online at AutoLeatherDye.com or reach out to us toll free at 1-833-288-6393(AUTODYE). We look forward to hearing from you.
The black leather seats in my MINI have 'white' piping around the edges. I'd like to change the piping to blue. Is that possible? Suggestions of product and process, please? Thx.
Hello David, This is definitely possible as an automotive leather dye is a coating. You will want to clean the piping well and then apply the dye over the piping. A small sponge or artist brush will work well to apply the dye. Our Automotive Leather Dye Bundle will have all you need to take care of the piping. Just select your color. autoleatherdye.com/collections/leather-repair-kits/products/automotive-leather-vinyl-dye-bundle
and if you have any other questions or I can be of any help at all please send me an email to sales@autoleatherdye.com Thanks, Shawn
Use a fine point paint marker. Have a wet rag handy to clean up any spillage. I changed my stitching in my maxima to red.
Can you spray it on with a mini paint gun?
maybe air brush would be better
Sure Can!!
Do you think this will work on 17 year old Mercedes Benz steering wheel?
if its leather yea
Alcohol dyes absorb better into the leather, when applied with wool pads
Thanks a ton for the input but unfortunately what you’re referring to is not a treatment for Automotive leather. Alcohol based dyes absorb and they can’t absorb through a coating that won’t let liquids absorb like an automotive leather dye. Plus a wool pad would scuff the finished surface extremely bad. Those techniques work wonderful for equestrian leathers but not so much on automotive.
I have a Lexus with tan camel colour quite similar to the colour in this video but I am not sure if it is exact. If I send you a leather sample, can you match the colour? Also do you sell repair cream or putty to fix scratches?
Absolutely misreading! This is not a leather DYE,it is paint.I bought a gallon from these guys in July 2017.The "dye" did not soak in the leather as it is supposed to soak,rather it sat on the top of the seats and started peeling off and fracking after a couple of months. I am redoing those seats all over again.
Hello Steve and Thank you for the reply. But as mentioned in the video this is a “protected leather dye” and the exact same used by many major auto manufacturers all over the world in their cars before being sold new.
A protected leather is dyed with a coating that “protects” the pores of the leather. It does act and cover just as paint would on a wall, sealing the surface. This can easily be identified by dropping a little water on a non worn area of your leather if it beads up then you need protected leather dye to “restore” the same coating.
Peeling and cracking can happen but it’s a cause of only a few things and this biggest being the preparation of the leather before recoloring. Body oils and residue from left over cleaners can certainly cause the sue to peel. Also cracking would want to be filled in before allying the coating over the surface. The dye is water based and not designed to fill in cracks. However we do have a filler for that. I am sorry that you had suck a problem almost 4 years ago but if you would like to reach out we would be more than happy to assist you in getting you what you need to make sure it holds us this time.
Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment!!
