It's always gratifying to watch a skilled craftsman completing a high quality job. Especially when it's clear they are very knowledgeable about what they are doing. If you moved to England you would have a lot of Volvo C70 owners beating your door down to sort their seats out!

You’re leather restoration is inspiring

Love your work - the finished seats look amazing!
Thank you very much !
Beautiful job.
Thank you
Awesome
I got same car of same age and same seats with same leather colour and condition)
Thanks
They look brand new. Well done. If I may suggest, please invest in a good quality lav mic so that we can hear you speak clearly. Also please use manual focus on your camera settings because the autofocus keeps moving to your hands when you are cleaning or spray painting. It’s very distracting. And finally the music in between takes is much louder than your voice. I’d rather hear you work than the music.
Thank you and once again great job with the channel. I’m subscribing.

Hello.
I have a question regarding the cost. What do you charge for this service? I was wondering about the price for two front seats and back seats as you did in this episode...
Thanks for your videos. Very useful and inspiring.

Thank you and thanks for watching, .my price for restoring 2 front seats like the once on the video would be around 350 euro. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

I have several questions
Is it possible to use leatherique before a restoration in order to restore softness and moisture ?
How many hours does it take you to restore a single seat not including dry time.
Can you do a video with a Volvo seat and go from beige to atacama?
I feed the leather after restoration, during restoration you would use some heat and solvent cleaners etc, so if you feed the leather before during restoration you would remove a lot of moisture and oils, Geist paints will let the conditioners to be absorbed by the leather, I do that almost after every restoration and there is nice difference in the softness of the restored lather , after applying the conditioner ( I wait at least 24 hours after the top coat before I apply conditioner) It usually takes me 2-4 of working hours to complete one seat. I probably wont get chance to change color on volvo seats , as most of videos I make while doing services for customers, but if you want to see how to change color , check out my channel, I have 2 videos about it. I hope this helps and thanks for the comment .
Is this similar to the factory leather finish, or do you have to treat it more like a vinyl seat, or PU coated leather afterwards?
Geist paints will allow you to feed the leather afterwards, so if you restore real leather you can apply conditioners after same as on factory finished real leather.
@@OCDDetailing2021 Thanks for the reply! When I get further along in my daily drivers rolling restoration, I’ll have to tell my girlfriend ‘We’re going on holiday to Ireland’.
😁
What would one expect to pay for such a fine job?
My price is from 175 euro per seat , depending on condition
