Advice..I used to do this for a job 9 hours a night do not rub with the cloth..get a smooth “bone” and gently smooth it over don’t use the heat gun too close or for a prolonged time as you’ll damage the texture of the seats and possibly burn great video though keep it up!
powerfulukltd yes! 😂 I’m sorry I don’t have a proper name we called it a “bone” but I’m sure it was some form of reinforced plastic it was completely smooth edged and heat resistant I hope that helps!
Why have the last 3 videos for removing leather inventions are alll from 3 different British dudes!? 😂😂 Thanks my brothers from across the pond! Y’all are the real MVPS. Love from USA
i am far from an expert but surely rubbing the leather at the same time as heating it up will stretch the leather more ( making it looser than when you started)
I did this with success about a year ago, the leather went from saggy, raised off the foam surface to perfectly tight and smooth. But literally the next morning it had returned to it’s saggy state (exactly the same pattern/shape it was). How do i stop this happening? I don’t want to overdo it with more heat - any ideas? I was using a heatgun for reference
Hello I like your tutorial videos about EVOQUE I’m learning many things, I have HSE DYNAMIC but a few weeks ago I had accidents over the lid cover of the cup holder ( center ) for accident leave a car deodorant those look like tree on the lid and I wonder if you try any cleaning to wipe the mark of the deodorant because left like oil on and don’t look shine like is or any recommendations I appreciate you ..thanks
My center panels are perforated….not sure did they are leather or vinyl. If vinyl can I still use this technique? Pain my have to be even more careful.

Is there a certain amount of time you’re suppose to wait? I used a hair dryer to make sure I didn’t ruin the leather and it’s worked both times but when I sit back down, I notice it starting to form again. I’m going to let to sit over night and put some weight on it and see if it works. I hope the cushion isn’t indented
@@L663 no but I’m willing to get one if it will fix it. I also believe I need to use steam, I don’t think the hair dryer or heat gun is going to get it. The leather is thick and it’s stretched I think from previous own
@@L663 I do keep the hair dryer on it for a long time tho, it goes back down but as soon as I sit down, it raises a little once I get up, I hope the Cushion or pad isn’t ruined
@@L663 to be honest, I’m going to keep doing it for a few weeks straight and just keep working with it. It’s been like this since I got the car so it will probably take a while to workout
I’ve tried using a hairdryer, it made the dents fade a bit but I’m sure with the concentrated heat from a heat gun will have better results. My advice is to apply some leather cream on the area that is being heated

Hi - this sounds like good advice so i have pinned this to the top of the list. Just need to find myself a small skull then....

@@emmadunn9118 do you have a photo of the bone ?
@@supercheese3820 use the bottom of a thick whiskey glass. I am actually doing this right now (taking a break).
Dam wish i saw this before i fucked up

Your voice sounds like Richard Ayoade. Made it ever better.
if the leather wants to go back to its original form, would I have a cow shaped seat if I apply heat for too long?
Yes you would so don't apply too much heat.
May end up with a bull instead
Love your vids and Ebay thanks for all my LEDs in freelander last week
you are most welcome

You may well be correct but did not notice this
How has this stood up over time? Did it go back or stay like this?
the dents are actually the "abnormal state" so the seat is happy to revert to its natural state...yes they stayer fine
powerfulukltd nice thanks!

Interesting - when we have done this repair the seat has regained its original form - be careful using too much heat.
@@L663 To be fair, the op issue wasn't solely based on the functionality of your solution, but rather the integrity.

This should work on leather and vinyl
An good idea and useful informative video.....

You may need a little more heat - do you have a source of steam - a garment steam cleaner ?

@@HighExposureMedia how did you get on with it in the long run?
Safer to use hair dryer?
yes - but not sure it will quite get hot enough - but worth a try.
@@L663how hot this heat gun must be? I just bought a new interior for my car and it have a lot of dents like this and I want to fix it before install
THANK YOU !!
You're welcome!
not having a heat gun, can an hairdryer be used?
Yes any form of heat will help

Wow!
You sound like you should be calling soccer matches.

Wow!
