BACK TO BLACK SUCKAS!!!!!

hey everyone, been getting huge amounts of requests for this so i figured i would go ahead and post some pics of my progress, well i got one seat done today and it is looking amazing!!!!

the vehicle is my 2003 g35 coupe, so 7-8 year old leather with 85,000kms of wear and tear

here are some of the before shots: notice how faded and ugly the leather is starting to look BLAH!!!! :ghetto
doesn't even look black anymore, just looks like a faded ugly gray




lots of ugly little spots like this where the color is gone :thegame



cracked bolster :1puke


more cracks and a chuck of color missing at the top??? :wtf

 

and here are the after shots VOILA!!! LIKE NEW AGAIN!!!!



bolster cracks fixed



wierd miscolored spot gone


even got a chance to black out the stitching where it says infinity



looking fresh again like it just rolled off the line

no more gray leather its back to black YAY!

 

what did you use?

 

took me 3 hours to do one seat, next up is the rest of the interior, then the gay dove colored roof is going to be either dyed or fabric overlayed black

 

What dye did you use? Did you apply it to the seats while still in the car or did you have to remove them and do all that with taking the leather completely off?

 

how?

 

used a mixture of products,

sponges of course
microfibre towels
prep cleaner
dye
sealant protectant coat

 

i used a dye rubbing balm, left the seats in as the dye comes right off of hard plastic

i could make a DIY for the small donation of $11,307.56 via paypal

btw paymants via paypal can be forwaded to my personal secretary, Hansworth Soloton

 

Haha, but yeah I think a DIY would be greatly appreciated, and looks great!

 

N/a

 

Now that you have dyed the seats, how do you maintain the look, you cant exactly use leather cleaner now right?

I guess Aerospace 303.

 

i mean i used dye so it will stay that color now..... its not like dye rubs off, i will just continue to use a leather conditioner because that will not harm the dye, so leather conditioner once every 2 or 3 months

 

looks amazing, i should order some up, i thought my seats were in great condition until i saw yours redone, now mine are just (sigh) okay

 

I thought once a month was good

 

Just wondering if you did it like this
