Wow. you know all the tricks. thanks and have a great weekend!
This was great, is there a video on painting a steering wheel?
MEK I painted a steering wheel using regular rustoleum and got amazing results. It was on a navigator and I was able to fix sun damage by lightly sanding and then painting with a few light coats.
What if you actually have a hole through the seat?
@@bitemefoker My question exactly. I used SPC's technique for sprucing up some nasty looking cracked and faded leather in my mom's Caddie....and it came out looking like brand new. After doing that, i then discovered about a quarter sized hole in the backseat. So, SPC.....do we need to put a patch over that hole, or will a silicone film as in your video do the trick? Thank for the great videos!
The best leather repair video i have watched in youtube
Thank you very much, glad you liked it. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Agreed! I was mesmerized through the whole thing.
How many have you watched?
What did he use as his Adhesion Promoter?
Try watching colour lock leather repairs. They are awesome
I was about to tackle reupholstering the entire back deck over the engine compartment of our 2004 boat. I am SO excited to try this instead! I just found your channel a few days ago. I spent 3 days cleaning the interior of my car, it went from disgusting chocolate milk carpet and melted crayons to looking brand new. I didn't think it was possible for my Edge to look this great again, the last thing to fix is my leather seat. I have already told 3 people about your channel. Thanks for all the amazing tips! My husband was SHOCKED when he saw how great the car looked. :)
That is awesome Heather so glad we could help you out have a great night thanks for being with us mad Mike sweet project cars

I cannot wait to repair a small worn spot in our "new" 2011 vehicle. I was considering how to do it, as I will repair leather jackets etc, and have that pretty down pat, the seat repair needs what you have shown in the video this is brilliant. Thank you!
Going to try this process on my wife
c431inf 11b let us know how that goes :)

@@SweetProjectCars ahahahah
c431inf 11b great idea! Hahahahah
i just bought a 2001 subaru outback (18 years old) with leather interior and the leather is amazing for it's age...it is cool to think that you could take old seats like that and make em nice again..so cool
Trying to repair my 01 seats 💀
Subarus had good leather from the start, Volvos on the other hand have used garbage leather ever since ford bought the Volvo company. ,
This video makes me appreciate the MBTex on my '08 MB ML350. Still perfect despite essentially no care in 11 yrs. No crinkles, no tears, no stains. Maybe others are better, but it's been impressive to me.
This is one of the best video on the entire UA-cam website. Thank you, sir. I will now try to fix my beautiful leather couch I want to keep.
Glad it helped! Thank you very much for watching and sharing. Hope you have a great day and good luck on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I have learned so much form your tutorials . You speak in terms that I understand and like. I have more confidence in trying to complete projects than ever. Also I have pass along your web page to my friends for them to try. Thank You
Thank you very much I’m so glad we could help you and thank you for sharing our channel it makes it all worth it
Wow! I can't believe how good they turned out! I would never guess that silicone caulk was used! You are a magician!
I have no idea why this was in ny recommendations, but admittedly I watched all the way thru! Awesome work! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment! Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Wow! Thank you sooo much! The silicone is truly a secret weapon. I will attempt this on my boat seats once I get the color match correct. I really appreciate how short you made this video vs. all the information. Thanks again.
Glad we could help, Rick! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, we truly appreciate it, have a great week my friend and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Incredible craftsmanship! That’s the best leather/seat restoration video I’ve seen. Thank you!
The Solopreneur Hour Podcast with Michael O'Neal thank you very much
That looks fantastic. I need to do this to the driver's seat of my 1996 Mustang GT.
I’m so glad I saw this video. My king ranch leather is about to look brand new 🙂
The transformation is amazing.
I bought a vette years ago - had them fix the leather interior - and when I got it back it looked brand new. I never knew how they did it so fast. Thanks for posting.
Frowntown hey don’t mind me asking how much did they charge and where did you go ? I’m trying to get my seats done but I feel like I can’t do it my self.
How has the silicone and paint held up so far?
You my friend are a genius. Thank you for sharing your secrets on leather repairs.
I C you are very welcome glad we could help....SPC Mike
Using the leather texture to mold the silicone was brilliant . Thumbs up and going to look at your other videos.
Awesome, thank you! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I don't even own leather seats but this video is that satisfying
Thank you very much we are glad we could help even if you don’t have leather you’ll learn a few things every time you watch something at least we do have an awesome day
As always, good, good GOOD stuff! What makes it GREAT are the laughs along the way.
That was great to see you do your magic ! - Explained well as your were - Bringing this seat back to life ! -Thankyou !
Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment and for being here with us! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
You do excellent work Mike! Thank you so much for helping us all with your great ideas and videos.

this is the best leather repair video i have seen so far.
Great job I am a car smart repairer and thinking of doing a leather refurb course this job looks amazing thanks for sharing 👌🏿👍🏿
I did smart repair training, including leather and fabric repairs. We didnt use silicone.
I love the fixes show simple practical and effective. No nonsense detailing and restoration info.
Thank you Shawn we truly appreciate that have a great day Mike sweet project cars
Wow definitely gonna try this with my "new" vinyl couch i just got it has small bits of cracking everywhere
Hey glad I found your comment, did you try it? My vinyl couch is cracking and small bits everywhere also. Please reply when you can. Thanks!
Hello, did you try this already? Just wondering if I should give it a go for a vinyl couch sectional.
Did this work for you and hold up? I am going to try on my leather couch, but wanted to hear from someone first.
@@divakim206 Did you try it?
@@ieshalee595 sadly I have not but plan to in the next 30 days. Once I find the correct color match, I'll get it ordered. Are you planning on doing yours any sooner? I'd love to find out how yours turned out.
Amazing work, learning something new today, life is good.
Great video.very informative.i like learning this sort of thing. I’m chomping at the bit for part 2 on Tuesday.i appreciate everything you do making these videos.please keep them coming
Thank you George that means more to us than you would ever ever know are a great friend of Sweet project cars have a fantastic day and we will see you Sunday
Awesome, you did a great job. I will try that on my newly purchased used car.
Excellent video. Thank you for your time. You’ve got me considering trying this on my black 96 fleetwood seats
Unbelievable repair you did this man! Excellent work
Very much my friend we truly appreciate that
this video is amazing. thank you for the demonstration!
Wow...the silicone thing actually worked and worked well...Easy...I have a 93 vette with only 40.000 miles on it and is almost pristine condition with white leather seats...my parents dog jumped in my car poking a whole in the passenger seat...a couple of years ago i bought a leather repair kit only making the area on the seat worse then it was...I tried this method with the silicone and it worked...I like the idea that it doesn't have to be perfect as it will blend in with the texture of the rest of the seat...Clean ...fast and easy..I ended up doing the other small cracks in both seats...you can't even tell....
Chris that is awesome to hear my friend good deal thank you for sharing your results have a great night
tools are all in the SHOWMORE of the video description
*If you don't look at it during sitting, it will last for-ever!* 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You think I can use the same process on boat seats ?
Will it work for my wifes butt?

Wow! I'm going to do my 2001 Galant GTZ leather seats. It's my project car. Great video
Wao looks beautiful, you are a pro in this sir...thanks for the video.
Love your channel and low cost no BS approach to restoring cars. Was curious if you’ve ever tried using a colored RTV instead of clear on a repair like this? Was thinking Black RTV on a black seat but would it really matter? Anyway, thanks for your awesome vids! Jim
Jim EC we use the black on darker seating works well...thanks for asking
Youre simple man, and very patient, nice work, respect!
Thank you very much, we truly appreciate your kind words. Have a great day! mad Mike the hammer SPC
Awesome job. Going to try this on my 350z . Thank you for this video
Excellent, cheap, and easy fix! I’ll be getting a lot more money on trade now!
Man that really turned out nice 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Ive got an 01 yukon xl with just about same color leather everywhere & i can see where its gna be forming soon. Prob in the next cpl yrs.thanks for the info .
Thank you for your time showing us how to do this repair
that's amazing. I don't currently have a need for this but, I'm glad I watched it. You have done amazing work.
Thank you very much! Thanks for being here with us, we really appreciate it! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thanks for making this very helpful video. You do amazing work 👍🏻
Charlie that means a lot to us my friend thank you very much have a great night
great job ... I also do these jobs in Italy and you get wonderful results .... American leather is difficult to paint due to the high content of silicone that makes the skin shiny ... we prefer skin from us opaque ... still good work
Holly crap dude! You are a freaking genius at this. I am trying this crap on my car. Hopefully, I can get half as good a result! Thank you for sharing this!
You can do it Evelio! Just make sure you use the exact same products/tools we use and follow the video as shown, you will love the results my friend. Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thank you fir sharing. Nice job for sure! I learnt many things I did not know.
Glad it was helpful Terry! Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike
How the hell did I end up watching this? I’m glad I did. Great work!
You, sir, are a magician.
Wow, that's some amazing DIY results. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to help Vince! Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Very thoughtful of you to share your secret of the pros. I'm going to try the silicone trick and I can't wait! Thank you so much!
I'll go always bought cars with bad leather seats because it's cheaper. Thanks to this video I can live the ten cent millionaire dream!
Socks With Sandals w
For real, paint job and seat redo, one could flip any last leg and give it new life. Heading to the barrio now
Great vid! Was wondering though, for someone who isn't comfortable with their ability to do this on their own, what would be the typical cost to have it done? And how would you go about finding someone who does this kind of work rather than the reupholstered route?
Jeff Parkin great question this is a DIY project so if you decide to have someone else do it it may be best just to buy the manufactures seat covers and replace them with new, it will be less costly for you but if you do tackle the project you can save a boatload of money with the DIY we share here.
Amazing result. I was skeptical at the beginning!
We have been doing this for years and it works great thank you for sharing my friend
Excellent demonstration - thanks for sharing all the tools and techniques!!
you are very welcome
That seat was looking gorgeous at the end! Very nice! Sadly, I have a gaping hole in my seat, so I don't know if I'll be able to "fix" mine. But I'm gonna try!
give us an update, boy
Have you tried filling it with Maruchan and crazy glue??
David Carmona LMAOOO
This is badass!! I have all the materials on hand (I have a huge crafting habit). I know the 100% silicone is a little smelly, but it would be so worth it to repair the leather in a car I just got. Thanks man!! 👏♥️
That is a really awesome tutorial. I wish there was something like this to repair suede.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, have a great week my friend. mad Mike
You are a master at your craft sir... well done. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to help Jeremy!! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment, have a fantastic weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
He just Got himself a subscriber. That looks brand spanking new!!!! Great vid!!!!!
Thank you very much King! Welcome to our site! We truly appreciate all of our great subscribers. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Damn that really makes me wanna do that to the seats in my car mine are in pretty good condition for being 10 years old but still wouldn’t mind them looking brand new like that
Wow! That’s something I’d never even thought would be possible.. thanks for the tip!! 👏🏻🙏🏻
You’re very welcome thank you for sharing
That LVP is amazing stuff. I’ve touched up my BMW black seats with it and it’s holding up very well and doesn’t look unmatched at all.
Shane Sexton did you use Ford Black or BMW Charcoal for your seats? I have 2002 black BMW seats also. Great video
BobinBC I used BMW black 258, I only touched up areas with a q tip and it’s blending perfectly. I also painted a dash trim piece that was peeling. So close to perfect match.
Sweet Project Cars,
Thank you for sharing this video, your experience is priceless.
I got a question for you: In this video you spread clear silicone, then spray painted on top of it. In another video, however, you said that the paint needs to be mixed in into the silicone, otherwise it will "fish eye". How did the spray paint work in this video without "fish eyeing"? I'm trying to understand which way to go - mix the paint into the silicone, or spray the paint on top of clear silicone like in this video.
We did both methods for those that aren't as experienced as us, the best way is to mix the paint with the silicone, spread it, let it dry then do a final paint. Hope this helps my friend. Thank you so much for watching and asking. Have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
That transition in the beginning about the materials was mad funny
LOL, thanks for watching Alexis, we appreciate it. Hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
“Julio, tell them where this stuff can be found”. 😂😂😂
Just found this and tried it on an old motorcycle seat. Worked like a charm! Youve got a sub bud!
Good deal glad we could help glad to have you with us

Wow! gonna try this on my leather couch! thanks for the video!

I have a '07 Acura TL I just bought Monday. Its half taken apart right now but after I get it back together I need to focus on the rips in the leather seats! Thanks for this video! I am hoping I can fix then to atleast prevent them from getting worse!
ashley it will be a great project for you thats for sure thanks for sharing mike
Kick ass process, looking forward to getting rid of the little rips and tears on my harley davidson f-150,great instructions on achieving a new looking pair of seats. Thanks👍👽

Great video! I’m wondering if this method can work on my “pleather” agate leather seats on my 01 Jeep Cherokee XJ.. the fabric is torn. Thanks guys!
This will not work on pleather. Thanks for asking, we appreciate your question. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hi Mike,
Long time fan of your channel and tutorials. Question...after the silicone repair and repaint, is it still possible to treat the leather with conditioning creams or will it have an adverse affect on the paint and silicone?
D
The skill is amazing and you have done this for year, outstand tips.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
