  • anyones leather looking a little tired & tatty? check this out!

    this stuff in a way saved me nearly 2 grand! so thought you might like to see!
    my mrs has just brought an audi tt and wanted me to buy her one that was nearly 2k more just because the interior was in better condition!
    so i promised her i could get her seats looking like new! and she'd seen the results i had on my bmw(bottom pics) and agreed to go for the cheaper one (which had less miles and a better service history by the way!)
    anyway before







    during! still drying but you can see how well the bolster came up!



    and after! i used 3 coats of 20% dye 80% water





    and im gonna need a new bottle of the conditioner as the leather was thirsty and drank half a bottle!
    but the mrs is well impressed and loves the new car smell!
    so thanks john!( bespoke leathering! ) :wink:

    and the before and afters on mine!

    before

    after




    before


    after


    before


    after



    and then after doing just the bits that needed it it made the other bits look a bit shiney so basically ended up doing the whole interior
    and it basically looks brand new!







    and i still have over half the bottle of dye left!

    GIVING STANCE A CHANCE!

      Wow! I wish I'd done something like that on my Lexus before selling it. What's the secret?

        I'd love to see a write up on this. I've got a few things I would like to dye black in my car, and would love to see the process.

            looks like something i could definitely use. interested in how it holds up over time...in heat, getting wet, etc. would **** for it to rub off on my clothes.

              the vaders in the pics were done about a year ago now and still look exactly the same!
              and no it doesnt rub off on your clothes although its recommended to leave them for 24 hours before you do use them!
