Cool, but really only works well on black leather. Also, I would recommend doing this only if you plan on selling the car after some months after doing this, essentially what you're doing here is clogging the pores of the leather with the paint and the leather will begin to dry and tear. Essentially, proper leather maintenance is the best way prevent this. Coconut oil works wonders on leather, leave it on for a few hours then wipe it off. The wrinkles will eventually begin to disappear.
This is BS. I've done it to a Beige seat and still looking amazing after 4years. Even with kids abusing it. Factory leather is also painted so your pores story makes no sense and is debunked by me in this case
Did this to a beige full backseat. Worked great, still after years of use looked great. Yeah the wrinkles are still visible but all the color was restored and looked amazing. Leather wrinkles over time are inevitable, it never stay as crisp as new. Personally i find it looking better with some wrinkles in it. But worn of color is just ugly and unnecessary. This is an easy and durable fix.
Those seats look like they need a deep clean and a deep conditioning.. the condition alone will darken them up, and make the leather softer. I never seen actual regular rattle can spray being put on leather but it didn’t look bad after
What if I told you I have the same exact Lexus RX 350, with the same exact interior, the same exact seat, with exactly the same exact cracks in the exact same place! Had the car two years. I detail meticulously. Hmm? Now I know why when I leather treated and conditioned the seats I got black paint flecks on the micro fiber.
@@enginepy Still going strong. Just crossed 300k mi. Needs a 4th new rear wheel bearing, radiator hose, I hit two deer and a clueless old lady in the same spot on bumper, so new bumper cover and 1/4 in spring. But that's it. I'm still treating the leather with Chemical Guys. It's staying supple. But I'm noticing small little cracks on the rear seat towards a few edges where people never sit or crease? But the two rear seats aren't as immaculate when I got it but near mint. I blanket cushion my kids car seat so no damage there. I think the overweight girls I was dating in the last couple of years the few times they were in my car put a few new creases in the passengers seat. This leather I noticed especially in heat or cold, needs to be hydrated regularly every two weeks or so to maintain optimal plasticity.
you all need to understand that leather conditioner does not work on most leather seats because the polyurethane coating makes it impenetrable to conditioner. You're just leaving conditioner residue on the surface
I have done this and it works. However on the light colour seats (never buy a car with a light seat colour) you may need to spray over the whole seat with the exact colour. For my BMW with light cream seats I purchased a full set of RAL colour charts(about 1600 shades). I found the correct color after a few hours with the shades.
The "after" really doesn't look much different to the "before" to me.
Er yeah I agree. Something about the Emporers New Clothes here

thank you. And it will have an appealing scent. I bet this will work. Will try it
I would think the polyurethane top coat that was applied to the leather in the factory would already have clogged the pours in the leather.
Laquer thinner is a hot solvent
Would it be better to use a petroleum solvent like mineral spirits?
thanks

Very good and a great idea!

Are you serious? I do feel this repair is great for someone tryin to do a quick dirty repair before selling. Is that really the car you bought?

Great little tip, I like it thank you 👍🏻
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

good fix

If once a month I clean my leather seats with a leather cleaner, will it strip off the conditioner I put on the month before?
In other words a fast cover up?
filler first, then color.
this is ghetto
not good
- You planned a date n you girl is wearing a white dress.
Doesnt matter. The paint will not magically desolve. Unless het a** is covered in thinner.
Not that good not that good
Good job. I have cream leather so I don't know what to do. Gonna be really hard to find the correct paint.
So basically you are dying the seat again. The lacquer thinner only dilutes the paint.
Great job man! You did an awesome job on making this video useful and simple!
It didn’t come out that much better
Do you have any issues with paint transfer onto clothing from sitting on the painted seats?
No, when dry you can use is as heavy as you like. No paint tranfer
Totally wrong. Needed to be sanded , creamed , then balmed and polished.
Didn't even bother to give credit to "Sweet Project Cars," the channel you learned this trick from. That's messed up.
So where did “sweet project cars” learned the trick from? From god?
@@tiadanama1998 yes
Not much of a difference
Nahhhh. Looks cheap. Do it rt and use a filler.
