Welcome aboard!

[@geist.leathercare]

Great job mate!

[@maverickluke4601]

Does the leatherfresh provide sufficient enough coverage to mask the colourlock filler ?

[@Tiauguinho]

Great job and thank you for sharing this restoration process.

[@DallasSkies]

Man, that is some amazing work. I have to ask, where/how did you learn such craftsmenship on the leather? I've wanted to learn how to do this but never really knew where to start.

[@AvianaAircraft]

I started with a colourlock training. It was 2 days. Then lots of practice on my own.
Colourlock USA has a few trainings scheduled for the US coming up, check in with them on facebook. Otherwise, I am also a trainer for them if you wanted to schedule a one on one

What is the sealer you use with water at the end of the video? Amazing work!

[@wolftimj]

Disregard, I see you answered it below.

[@jonmike316]

Which ceramic coating did you use?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Optimum Leather Guard

[@mafitron]

What you recommend to prevent this?

[@haydenharmon8108]

It's fairly hard to avoid, narrow cockpits and you're constantly rubbing against it when going up to the pilot seat etc

[@AvianaAircraft]

Yea pretty much what Hayden said.
