[@TMM6944]

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.

[@fknid]

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

[@RoderickGMacLeod]

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.

[@robink.9459]

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

[@anthroism26mc]

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

[@larrybud]

I restored a completely pitted steering wheel on my 86 vette with this stuff. It worked great!

[@tedlym.3390]

This was an exceptionally educational episode. Thank you,

[@matthewblack8552]

Love your videos Guru! If I ever win the lottery, I will fly you to the US first class every 2-3 months to do full detail cleaning on my auto collection.

[@rorymurphy8275]

Another great video Joe, keep them coming

[@verdej2057]

I have used colourlock on some minging seats and it came up like new and this looks just as good

[@meridianmedia1093]

USA Atlanta-7 Volvo wagons over the years… miss the 1987 GLE gold wagon:) Great design in your presenting style man!😊

[@MattTester]

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.

[@joshjack6127]

Yes Guru! Another top notch video

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Didn’t exactly go to plan but thought you might still appreciate it!

[@joshjack6127]

I much preferred to see a test in a real world scenario! Nice work

[@terminal-velocity111]

@@CarCleaningGuru honestly m8, it’s a good product and you’ve got a difficult colour to match. Used on a darker colour will work amazing.

[@chrismorgan3302]

Hey Mr Guru, good to see you!

[@EricLehner]

Hello from Canada. Nicely done!

[@ExpressionCulture]

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

[@shaunnh2a585]

Great video, seems like a fantastic product 👍

[@Twobarpsi]

Incredible results!! Will have to try on my 1998 V70 T5!!

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Just remember massage not stipple!

[@tonymcnamara9368]

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? 🤔

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

Not to complicate matters, but I believe the XC90 seats fit perfectly in the V40, believe it or not!

[@duncangrainge]

Nice vid. I might try a light orange to make a change to a spray tan 🤣. Seriously though very interesting 👍

[@cg7856]

Nice vid guru

[@juliebrooke6099]

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.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

No once it’s properly cured it’s going nowhere.

[@stevewilliams6191]

Something a bit different there Joe. Great video thanks 👍

[@aillyia]

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

[@mykahlifischer379]

I love your videos

[@timothydecelle3201]

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.

[@jonas20022002]

Hei! I have the same color in my v40, what color/shade would you recomend?

[@TMM6944]

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.

[@Coa_Kralj_Coa_The_King]

I think you need to give a bit time to leather balm, like 7-10 minutes, then buffet. Anyway, great video!

[@irishwristwatch2487]

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

[@CarCleaningGuru]

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

[@hemibell]

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!

[@grandtourerpt]

I've used Scuffmaster from Gliptone without any issues or die transfers.

[@pillred5974]

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.

[@grandtourerpt]

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.

[@GrindingGearsZero]

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

[@EgoShredder]

@@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.

[@GrindingGearsZero]

@@EgoShredder is velour those fluffy stuff (like a sofa?) if so, yes those are very lovely

[@grandtourerpt]

@@GrindingGearsZero not sure, only had cars with real leather.

[@designrdan]

Wow

[@robertmitchell8630]

I just love how you Brits speak the American language 😂

[@ayo_ozi]

Your interior isn’t beige.. it’s grey.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Biscuit beige I think it’s called. The short conditioning shot on the grey leather is my Honda.

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

I thought you entered the witness protection program. Sadly, your drops are few and far between these days

[@CarCleaningGuru]

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.

[@qba247]

Good work but this color is not even similar to original ;/

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Yes as I said they have another beige that would have been a better match but by the time I realised was too late to start again.

[@kadenengle9385]

*recolor Jkjk

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

COLOUR !

[@adampug206gti]

The question is did you finish off the dogs couch...😳🤣 Great video my man..👍

[@AR-rs2dy]

I don't think the car looked too bad.
