Seats

[TJS]

I had the 4 leather sections of both seats professionally refurbished this morning. Two scratches on the passenger seat were filled and the drivers seat bolster recoloured due to the usual wear. After being rubbed down the bolster received 3 air brushed coats of matched light grey plus a semi matt sealing coat. Weekend job is to clean the cloth upholstery which now looks grubby.

I know, I should have taken "before" pictures ... however these are the results. The price, £160, included 250ml of matched dye and 4 hours labour. A Jaguar E type interior was also being worked on.

Looks a very nice job. Who did you use?

Impressive TJ, do they refurb in situ or remove the seats?

Super effort Tony...that black/grey combo gets better every time I see it.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh next meet.

The seats remained in the car, drivers seat raised with doors and top down. The car was wheeled into a workshop, however the guys can provide a mobile service. I used the Furniture Clinic in Leighton Buzzard, it's a franchise, after seeing some of their work at a classic car show last year.

Interestingly, I learnt that applying leather care products to feed and maintain automotive leather interiors is a waste of time and money. All such leathers are dyed , painted and fully sealed. The product you apply simply evaporates rather than soaks in. The seat bolster was treated once the original scuffed coating was sanded down and removed prior to the new colour coats being applied. To keep clean simply wipe with a damp cloth.
