Hi, I used this product to restore a Range Rover P38 leather interior. As you can see by the pictures below it was in a very shabby state to start with but the finish is amazing. The car is 20 yrs old and has done 247,000 miles so the interior has had a long hard life. I purposely wanted to leave some of the wrinkles in keeping with its age. I used a water based degreaser first to remove the grime and grease, this was applied with a plant spray bottle and I worked it with a nylon rotary scrubbing brush fitted in my battery drill. I constantly wiped excess off with a clean wet cloth rinsing it constantly. I was very robust with the rotary brush to ensure all grease was removed. I then cleaned the leather with clean water and cloth to ensure all the detergent and filth were removed. Then I dried the leather completely with a paint stripper hot air gun.
Then using a cork block and 320 grade sand paper I sanded the leather down. I then used a leather filler to fill all the cracks I didn’t want showing. Once this had dried I sanded the leather for the last time to smooth the filler and key the original surface so to give the leather paint something to grip too. This is very important because if you don’t key the leather the paint will peel so do not rush this part. I then used a Henry hoover and a clean paint brush to remove all the dust.
Finally I masked everything up and sprayed the leather with the paint applying it in two light coats first before applying the final top coat. Its important to allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat. The pictures show the finish below and its amazing. I restored the seats, steering wheel, hand brake, gear lever, centre consul, door panels inc arm rests and the seat armrests. I highly recommend this product but do not attempt this if you have no patience and remember the paint is perfect to use but the finish you get is entirely dependant on the preparation you put in, if you take short cuts you will have problems with paint cracking or peeling trust me I know I did just that. I left the upholstery untouched for two weeks to ensure it was fully cured then I applied a leather conditioner and so far all is well and I'm over the moon with the finish.
Regards, Richard
