    @JFHeroux ปีที่แล้ว

    Same seats that are in my TT Mk2. Since I'm not rich and the car is not worth 80,000$, I wasn't ready to spend that much money on leather repair. I found a product online called Belino Cuir and ordered the black version. I was hesitant to use it though. I left it on the shelf for almost a year. But finally decided to try it on the lower part at the back of a seat (just in case it was crap and I couldn't fix the disaster). Turns out it worked very well and is very easy to use! It's a kind of fast drying gel. You put the stuff on the cracks and then wipe it down with a cloth. If you put too much and it is visibly different from the surrounding leather, you rub on it hard with the cloth. And as a last resort, you apply a bit of Windex on a rag and wipe it down. But it mostly worked very well for me and my seats look good. Not like you see in this video of course. But all the cracks and the discoloration are gone. It even died the thread back to black.
    Important: Before you start, you must remove any dirt or leather conditionner and the leather need to be dry. Also, when you're finished, apply a decent quality leather conditionner over all of your seats, especially where you re-dyed your leather. 4.5/5 for the ease of use and 5/5 for the value for the price. That was the only thing that was bugging me about my car interior and in the end I could have fixed it a while ago for 15$ and 2 hours of work. I should have done this way sooner!

    That proprietary device is just taking a photo. There are apps for translating photos to a hex or RGB number. I suspect the secret sauce of the device is finding a way to exclude external light to maximise colour accuracy. Altogether, I’d always reupholster rather than do this painful cleaning, sanding, colouring.

    You shouldnt just sand the leather with straight up sandpaper. Use red Scotch pads, which are also a 320 grit and a solvent to break through the topcoat but it will not damage the grain as much as straight up sanding it will.

    Hi, nice results. If its possbile can you check the new colored leather parts after a few months? I´m from germany and i´m using colourlock products - even with airbrush gun. After a few months heavily used parts like the seats show always worn parts. On other parts like the arm rest everything is fine.

    Very informative video thank you for it. ¿ Is there a certain reason why you didn’t use your Ammo leather cleaning products to clean up seats? You used fibrenew cleaner correct?

    That's a Pantone CAPSURE Color Matching Tool... basically matches the color of anything to the Pantone color library.

    I was hoping that you will show how to get rid of those folds and stretched leather on bottom part of the seat, have same issue in my Audi 🥺 I tried some technique with heatgun, steam etc. but without any luck (did this probably too carefully though because I was so scared to damage the leather) It shrinked a bit but not enough.

    Do you have any comments or suggestions for a GMC leather seat heated/cooled with the small ventilation holes in it? I've noticed that there is the smallest bit of leather between a seam and one of the ventilation holes that is "flapping." It's not a tear I don't think and hasn't spread, but that's what I'd like to prevent, a spread. Is there anything that would be leather safe to essentially "glue" this teeny-tiny leather flap down with? I hope my description of the issue is adequate - it's the best I can do short of sending you a picture!

    At my job I color match interior paint by eye lol. We have a camera for color matching but it's more for the exterior color of the car. I work with PPG paint at my job, I color match exterior and interior paint. We are a platinum PPG distributor at my job. I actually use that same light he has on his desk. It shoots the light from the top in a bright setting and it shoots the light from the front for a more warmer yellow tone.

    Were your seats standard leather that just had a surface color or nappa leather wich is dyed all the way through?????

    • @Ronke01
      @Ronke01 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nappa is just a way of finishing the surface. All modern leather is mostly dyed through and surface coated afterwards.

    What a great way too start the weekend! I was hoping you would upload another video soon, but I hadn't expected you too upload this quickly already. Thanks Larry, and cheers to you!
    Edit: I just finished watching this video, and I must say, I like that it takes me back to your older videos about repairs and upgrades on the 964 and the r8. Also, am I becoming obsessed when I already saw the orange peel analogy coming? Anyway, I really like these analogies, keep 'em coming.

    • @nickdanger6284

      You should clean and condition the leather every 3 or 4 months. The finish on these letters is very thin .
