CCG - let me ask, would the kit provided be enough for an entire vehicle, I have a Range Rover Westminster and the seat are massive.

It would be great if you could revisit these seats to update us on how well it wears over time.

As far as I'm concerned this is very good content because it highlights the capabilities and the limitations of the product rather than just the capabilities.

In a world of greasy Armor All wipes and whatnot, it's nice to see leather reconditioning solutions still out there.

I've been using leather dye and repair from German manufacturer Colourlock for years. Awesome results for the money.

This would've been ideal for the cream leather seats in my old Discovery if I still had it, it's tempting to go out and buy an old Range Rover just to try this stuff out. Well, it would be a good excuse in my mind.

Even though the Volvo seats are well worn, it's still a huge improvement on their condition. Do you think that Clyde's would work on darker leather products, like a heavily soiled gimp suit for example? 🤔

I did something similar with a old honda jazz leather gearknob a few years back. Being black it was much easier to get a even colour. Good video though, im sure it will really help someone out

But did it come off onto your clothes when you sat on it? That’s the main thing I need to know? It would be good to get an update on how it’s worn.

Can you spot treat seats or will it cause some obvious color mismatch if the Clyde’s isn’t a perfect match? I just don’t want to turn a small job into recoloring the entire seat.

@aillyia Жыл бұрын

I wonder how that would have worked to fill in the cracks and then using a leather spray dye to recolor the whole surface?

Hi Guru, does the deglaze remove the plasticy top coat and bring it back to just leather surface? I've been unable to soak any conditioner into the rock hard leather of my car because it's obviously coated.

@grandtourerpt Жыл бұрын

It doesn't, it makes the leather coarse so a new coat of dye can be applied. I had cars with coated leather and Leatherique worked on them, just make sure you apply it on the seams, if it's perforated even better. Leather is only coated on the surface, underneath it can still get the oils necessary to make it soft again.

Was that really leather? looked suspiciously like vinyl, great job you did on it whatever it was made of looks like it would work on both anyway.

Would this work on steering wheels, or would the product eventually rub into my hands? I hate the huge scuff of worn leather in my car!

So its kind of like bulling leather boots? Very similar application

Yes lots of Clydes customers use it for boots/saddles etc.

@grandtourerpt Жыл бұрын

It's a shame that car manufacturers are moving away from leather as it can last a very long time if well maintained and even if neglected can be brought back to life with ease. I'm no pro but did redye an entire car from black to a natural leather color and have fixed a few discolored areas. Can't really do that realistically with fabric seats.

i have had many fake leather interior and always liked fabric more, are the ones used by the manufacturers actually nice?

@@GrindingGearsZero I'd have the lovely thick luxurious velour seats back from a previous car I had any day, over the leather I had in the next car. At the moment I only have fabric seats which are hard wearing, but not that comfortable.

I’ve rarely ever uploaded more than twice per month to be fair. Sometimes it can take a week to organise a video (weather/product arrivals/car availability etc) then between 7-10 days to actually put it together myself but regardless, I’m almost always working on a video one way or another.
