Great job! I did my seats on my V50, same colour. But I did not have a spray gun, or heat guns to dry. So I cleaned the seats with Auto Glym leather cleaner and magic erasers, which really lift the dirt, and prepped the seats with very fine sand paper, then filled in all the creases, and allowed the filler to dry. Then I gave the seats another light sanding, and cleaned of the dust with a damp micro fibre cloth. Then I applied the leather colourant with a clean cloth, allowed it to dry, then applied another coat of colourant. The colourant I used had a satin finish when dry, and did not require a final coat of sealant. The entire process took two days for the whole car, including leather inserts on the door cards. It took longer because I had to let each process dry naturally. But the results were AMAZING, like a brand new interior. Two years have passed since I did it, and now they will need doing again, but only the front seats, as I do not use the back seat. So the back seat only needs to be lightly cleaned. 👍
remember…seek your goals the way camera guy’s thumb seeks the mic hole 😂 Very cool video, guys! I have several old cars and I may seek to refinish them. I had no idea seats were painted in this way. I have the challenge…now to acquire the knowledge!
@@wilhamcobly3805 Thanks for the comment, but I am not sure what you are trying to say.. properly restored leather can be used normally; these seats are from daily cars, there would be no point doing the job if the repair wasn't lasting.
Wow thanks for the process! I just got my hands on an 08 Accord for my wife and it has leather seats in similar condition. I'm going to use your process to clean them up!
Hey dude, Found you on TikTok and now found you again on You Tube! I will definitely be coming to you to have some work done on the paint on my Volvo C70. Looking forward to it
PLEASE take control of music in videos. Voices are about a level 2, music about a level 5. We want to hear what you are saying and doing without being blasted- especially with headset
Great job. I do not have much patient... But it is worthed.. Thx for sharing. I will put myself in action with my volvo s60 2.5 t 2006. Congrats from Costa Rica
amazing video gr8 job - but my seats they are ventilated with million off holes any ideas how to make that hols coloured instead of black (lather is beige)
Thanks Adam; in most cases, the colour of the leather in the perforation should have the same colour as the top. It the holes are black, is there a chance that it is just dirt? I have seen a case, where the holes looked with, someone lashed conditioner on the leather and filled the fully; it looked very weird.
@@adampastel3575 If you are in Ireland or northern Ireland, I can supply you with a good leather cleaner, for example Kecav Power, you would also need a leather cleaning brush I have them , my website is www.ocddetailing.ie If you are in different country let me know where, so I will direct you for right product available there
Of course in this case the job will be more demanding but still doable. You spray one colour first, leave it for a few days, mask it and spray the second colour. When it comes to stitching, you can mask it with masking tape, or there is also a gel that you can apply on the stitching, paint it and peel off the protective gel. I use tape. You can see this done in this video: ua-cam.com/video/54lhunHODZo/v-deo.html
Thank you. To be honest, the process is not overly complicated; you need a small bit of set-up, If I was to learn it, I would start with black seats and standard black leather paint, leather cleaner, sanding pads, degreaser, filler, heat gun and spray gun or airbrush, this set up is not expensive but would get you going, I have many videos on my channel about leather restoration, you can learn a lot of from them, put in it practice and I will guarantee you, you will get great results!
Yes, it can also be done with sponge, however it would be even more time consuming if you tried to do whole seat with a sponge. Here is video that I use sponge to fix a bolster ua-cam.com/video/lAfDhtIObtQ/v-deo.html for small areas this method is absolutely fine.
Great Job, Nice to see the recovery, I a 328 BMW, 1999 and I am interesting to know the name of the products and suppliers, i am base in mexico, thank you
Hi: I have a 2012 Volvo S60 T6 AWD with light beige leather seats that have similar wear on them. The car has 117,000miles. I’m located in Chicago,Illinois (U.S.A.). Do you know of any leather restorers like yourself located in my area? You are quite the craftsman! Really pay attention to detail. Best regards.
Thanks Michael, I will ask person who trained me whether he knows someone in your area, he provides training in US as well so I am nearly sure that there is someone who would do it for you.
After the repair is the leather supple? After repair....Can you use Meguiars Leather cleaner for normal ongoing cleaning and feeding of the repaired "painted" leather?
To keep the natural features of the leather, I only spray enough paint to fix the damage; coats are light; if there is too much paint applied, the leather loses its natural softness in touch, so the amount of paint is essential. In the case of dry or hard leather, I leave it for the day and apply Colourlock Leather Protector ( conditioner), sometimes it takes a few applications within 2-3 days, but it feeds the leather and brings it back its softness. I use Colourlock products for leather care, but Megiuars are good products, too, so they won't cause any harm.
Do you know someone in The Netherlands by chance that can do the same restoration. And how much do you charge for recovery so i know what to think off😊
Great job. If I wanted to restore my beige seats and dye them to something like saddle brown? Could I follow your steps and just use a different leather dye colour?
I am amazed at the difference your work achieves. I have just bought a used car with cream leather seats that could do with this treatment. Could I ask how much you charge for each seat, and where you are based. Thanks
@@OCDDetailing2021 That is an absolute bargain and I would definitely take you up on that but I didn’t realise that you were based in ROI. I live on the UK mainland so unfortunately I will have to look elsewhere, but I have to say, that your attention to detail is amazing. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Looks great, lots of work but still less money than new or reupholstering. I’m curious how it hold up. Years ago a friend paid to have this done, but after a few weeks all the cracks reappeared, and it looked trrrible. Technology has come a long ways since then(this was ~20 years ago).
Thanks for your comment. The seats from this video are still in good shape , they are used in daily used car so obviously at this stage they already have some wear and tear, the process is simple overall, but its easy to make mistake especially when it comes to drying the leather during restoration, if this happens ,then the repair won't last , overall the products are very good once they are used right.
Where are the cleaner, filler., paint and hardner avaliable please? How durable is the paint? Do u usually need to replace foam first? Great video. Thank you. Ur a true craftsman!!
Thank you, if you serach for Colourlock or Geist you probably will find supplier somewher near, we are based in Ireland (www.ocddetailing.ie) the durability of the paint stated by producer is about 2 years for daily used cars, i weekend cars it lasts way longer, or if maintened correctly also will last longer in a daily car. You would only need to replace the foam if its worn, in this case there was no need.
What is the composition of this GLD solvent cleaner? My understanding is one should never use solvent on leather because it dries out the moisture in the fibers which leads to aging and cracking.
Isopropanol is the main component of this product, in the case of care product like this shouldn't be used, but in the case of restoration solvent cleaner is necessary, serious abuse of solvent may damage the leather, but if used according to instructions doesn't. I have done some repairs 4-5 years ago and that leather is still fine.
Sir, one again nice video ! Please, please .. turn the music volume down and raise the voice volume up. It's hard to keep track on verbal steps while getting ear rape from the music
Its very easy to do. All you need is time and patience. You can buy the products you need online, quite cheaply. You don't need spray guns or heat guns, but garden sprayers can be used if need be. I just used magic erasers and leather cleaner to clean, and Micro fibre cloths to apply the products, and let each stage dry naturally. Do your front seats one day, and the rear seat the next day.
@@hermanmunster3358 thank for the info I appreciate it my seats are ok was just saying if I needed leather repair yours looked great I have a scratch on my leather steering wheel that I will eventually bring some place for repair
You do great work. Please consider making videos without music next time. I had to keep it on mute the entire time because the music was too distracting.
Thank you very much , I get quite few comments about the music, in most my recent videos there is very little almost silent music, so hopefully they are better to watch.
Great content! You might spend a few more seconds on each step talking about what each step is trying to achieve. Any defects that might not be correctible? I'm emboldened now to do my old leather sport car seats. Thank you.
HELLO, thank you for your amazing videos. I wanted to ask you about the top coat, it is MAT or glossy? and what is the formula for a matt top coat please?
Thank you for your comment. For automotive leather to get the most optimal finish, I mix 70% of top coat matt with 30% of top coat gloss and 3% of hardener. If you use top coat matt only , then this finish will not look natural it will be too matty like chalk finish.
No, 4000 is very fine, so it doesn't leave any traces, also I do it very gently just to smooth down the surface, it doesn't remove layer of the top coat.
Hello how much would it cost to do the 2 front leather seats in my 2006 Volvo s60 they are the same colour & condition as the one you did in the video ?
Great video. I learned a lot and enjoyed to the presentation. Good editing kept the ratio of time to info balanced. And yes the music needs to be turned down in a couple of places. Keep up the good work!
Great job, very theral. I have to ask how long before it wears down, what I'm trying to ask is, whether it will hold for long like the original or a lot less!? Thanks
Thank you very much. If the process is performed correctly and the leather is maintained with the right products, this restoration will last for a couple of years in a daily used car, these seats were done about a year and a half ago; the car is a workhorse, so it is abused a good bit, but its owner has a good idea about maintenance, and so far the seat sill look very good. s
W przypadku systemu Colourlock czn np Geist ma sens nałożenie odżywki, pomimo że jest nowy lakier te farby nie blokują całkowitego wchłaniania się odżywek, co jest bardzo ważne przy późniejszej pielęgnacji skóry. Podczas procesu malowania, skóra jest suszona i traktowana mocniejszą chemią, więc użycie odżywki jest nawet wskazane do przywrócenia naturalnych cech skóry. Ja ogólnie dzień dwa po malowaniu nakładam odżywkę, jeżeli skóra jest twarda , nakładam kilka razy w odstępach czasowych, zwykle działa to bardzo fajnie.
Obejrzałem wiele filmów ale Pan jako pierwszy pokazał ze po utrwalaczu 4000 papier idzie. Zajebista robota. Ja swoją pierwszą renowację skóry zaczynam lada dzień. Materialy kupione pistolet kupiony czekam na urlop.
@@TheFresh1979 Generalnie wszystko zależy od tego jak faktura jest zachowana, jeżeli nie jest wytarta lub nie ma głebokich zmarszczek / rys do wypałnienia to przy malowaniu faktura zostaje praktycznie tak jak jest, gdyż maluje się tylko cieniutkimi warstwami. Jeżeli jest już wytarta itp, to niestety przy systemie Colourlocka nie da się już jej odbudować na większych powierzchniach do takiego stopnia aby dobrze wyglądało.
I would never realize how much work gets put in for restoring just one seat! The result is amazing! 👍
thank you !
At first I thought it was impossible to restore, and they had to accept the unfixable cracks, but you got them looking like new. Professional job

hi nice work on leather. quick question- how long does the treatment last before needs doing again. thanks
The durability of this kind of repair is about two years, It may start to slowely wear on the most used places like bolsters etc.
what is the color?
I dont know the code of this color as we mix it ourselves and match it to the leather we work on .
How do you handle leather seats with different color stitching while spraying??
I use very narrow masking tape. Check out my video with pernament stain on leather, the seat i was restoring in that video had contrasted stitching.

Podczas procesu malowania, skóra jest suszona i traktowana mocniejszą chemią, więc użycie odżywki jest nawet wskazane do przywrócenia naturalnych cech skóry. Ja ogólnie dzień dwa po malowaniu nakładam odżywkę, jeżeli skóra jest twarda , nakładam kilka razy w odstępach czasowych, zwykle działa to bardzo fajnie.
Hello buddy can you list things you used to do this great job
Thank you, just updated the description.
Obejrzałem wiele filmów ale Pan jako pierwszy pokazał ze po utrwalaczu 4000 papier idzie. Zajebista robota. Ja swoją pierwszą renowację skóry zaczynam lada dzień. Materialy kupione pistolet kupiony czekam na urlop.
Dziękuję, papier 4000 nie narobi żadnych rysek, a wygładzi powierzchnię. Udanego projektu życzę, renowacja to bardzo satysfakcjonująca praca.
@@OCDDetailing2021 napewno wykorzystam wiedze z Pana nagrania. I mam nadzeje ze nie zmarnuje materialu bo troche zainwestowałem.
@@OCDDetailing2021 a jak pomalować skórę z zachowaniem naturalnej faktury?
@@TheFresh1979 Generalnie wszystko zależy od tego jak faktura jest zachowana, jeżeli nie jest wytarta lub nie ma głebokich zmarszczek / rys do wypałnienia to przy malowaniu faktura zostaje praktycznie tak jak jest, gdyż maluje się tylko cieniutkimi warstwami. Jeżeli jest już wytarta itp, to niestety przy systemie Colourlocka nie da się już jej odbudować na większych powierzchniach do takiego stopnia aby dobrze wyglądało.
