    I just did this on a Range Rover Classic. I considered buying new upholstery, doing a full leather restoration, etc. This came out great. Almost unbelievably so. It also took some of the hard patina off the seat and made it seem years younger and softer. I think I spent $20 or so and an hour of time.

    Im a professional detailer and all I can say is damn. I wish I would have done this about 8 hours ago before I started this restoration job on leather seats. He bypassed the whole waiting process and its cost efficient. Folks he is absolutely correct. It doesnt change texture. The lacquer thinner acts as a cleaner and paint promoter mixed with new paint and this technique causes it to blend instead of changing the texture on the substrate. Good job man!!! Why didnt I think of this

      I suppose what's key is the color match..for 30m of work I gotta say its impressive. I use lacquer thinner all the time to clean paint. So many shy away from it. Gotta know how to use it. I think it would be good to experiment first to get comfortable with the process. I have professionally dyed leather and replaced too. I'm gonna def try this out even if just out of curiosity. One thing I know for sure. If the leather has worn to a suede texture no amount of dye or blending will change that. Thanks for the tip.😊

      @@erniepatai6644 I have been doing this method since I've seen his techniques. Takes a little practice. Not much. You will have the process down after the first seat or try as we all tend to overthink things on out first run. It saves money but i only do it for quick repairs or small jobs. Not an entire seat. It comes out a little to shiny for my liking versus oem. Painting or reupholstering the seat is always the best. Just time consuming and some customers can't or won't pay for that type of job. But it's a great method for customers on a budget or your cheaper cars. Not recommended for high end vehicles.

I applied a bit of the thinner first to remove remnants of shoe dye that someone put on seats to hide the wrinkles. Over time it wore off/discolored. It stood out as a bad dye job. I also removed blue jean dye that got on side of seat. Then dyed seats per your vid. They look great now! Husb thought I was destroying seats. Showed him your vids. Now he's hooked. Lol.

    I have to tell you, I've done your technique on my 2005 325i BMW on my gray interior with Satin Granite Rust-Oleum 2X Painters Touch Paint and Primer with the same brand "paint" thinner you used because I didn't have the "lacquer" thinner. I watched this video, and then followed with the black leather and your other tan/beige leather video. I used Surf City Garage Voodoo Blend Leather Rejuvenator that I saw in another video...AH'MAZING RESULTS!!! I am restoring my BMW. This technique is actually good enough for restoration projects. It absolutely does not rub off on your clothes or your rag after you use your leather conditioner. You are a wizard! Thanks so much for your videos. People are flipping out over my before and after results! I tell everyone about you. I wish we could show you pictures! I do wear gloves...lol. I even did a little sanding on my seats and armrest.

    I live in a very warm region with lots and lots and lots of sun, the car spent to 30-50% of it´s time under the sun (not anymore).
    Now I am trying the same on the steering wheel, which is badly faded. I am into the 4th. application. It has improved BUT is still far away from being "normal". Planning to use some leather dye next.

    I used your idea to restore color to my sun faded red patio umbrella. Fabric dried slightly stiffer but more water resistant and good for another year!

    Awesome tech trick. I have an 08 40th anniversary rx8 with red leather and that is why I use good leather care products religiously and keep my car cleaned and protected
