Volvo S60 leather seat restoration / COLOURLOCK / OCD DETAILING

[@OCDDetailing2021]

thank you !

[@hermanmunster3358]

Great job! I did my seats on my V50, same colour. But I did not have a spray gun, or heat guns to dry. So I cleaned the seats with Auto Glym leather cleaner and magic erasers, which really lift the dirt, and prepped the seats with very fine sand paper, then filled in all the creases, and allowed the filler to dry. Then I gave the seats another light sanding, and cleaned of the dust with a damp micro fibre cloth. Then I applied the leather colourant with a clean cloth, allowed it to dry, then applied another coat of colourant. The colourant I used had a satin finish when dry, and did not require a final coat of sealant. The entire process took two days for the whole car, including leather inserts on the door cards. It took longer because I had to let each process dry naturally. But the results were AMAZING, like a brand new interior. Two years have passed since I did it, and now they will need doing again, but only the front seats, as I do not use the back seat. So the back seat only needs to be lightly cleaned. 👍

[@OCDDetailing2021]

Thank you. Yes, it is a very satisfying job, with a spray gun, it is a good bit easier.

[@OCDDetailing2021]

Thanks for your comment. The seats from this video are still in good shape , they are used in daily used car so obviously at this stage they already have some wear and tear, the process is simple overall, but its easy to make mistake especially when it comes to drying the leather during restoration, if this happens ,then the repair won't last , overall the products are very good once they are used right.

[@michelreiniervanalten9866]

Ok. How does this work on my P2 Volvo with duo colour leather seats with contrasting stitching?

[@OCDDetailing2021]

Of course in this case the job will be more demanding but still doable. You spray one colour first, leave it for a few days, mask it and spray the second colour. When it comes to stitching, you can mask it with masking tape, or there is also a gel that you can apply on the stitching, paint it and peel off the protective gel. I use tape. You can see this done in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2XPmaikfbR3kNE

[@roddersauify]

After the repair is the leather supple? After repair....Can you use Meguiars Leather cleaner for normal ongoing cleaning and feeding of the repaired "painted" leather?

[@OCDDetailing2021]

To keep the natural features of the leather, I only spray enough paint to fix the damage; coats are light; if there is too much paint applied, the leather loses its natural softness in touch, so the amount of paint is essential. In the case of dry or hard leather, I leave it for the day and apply Colourlock Leather Protector ( conditioner), sometimes it takes a few applications within 2-3 days, but it feeds the leather and brings it back its softness. I use Colourlock products for leather care, but Megiuars are good products, too, so they won't cause any harm.

What is the composition of this GLD solvent cleaner? My understanding is one should never use solvent on leather because it dries out the moisture in the fibers which leads to aging and cracking.

[@OCDDetailing2021]

Isopropanol is the main component of this product, in the case of care product like this shouldn't be used, but in the case of restoration solvent cleaner is necessary, serious abuse of solvent may damage the leather, but if used according to instructions doesn't.

Nice work! One question: Why are you applying heat with a heat gun during the spraying? Is it needed or is it just to speed up the process?

[@OCDDetailing2021]

In the case of this type of paint, heat is necessary, you need to dry the paint before you can spray another coat, it would take a couple of hours for the paint to dry naturally before you could apply another, and it would dry properly. You can also use hair dryer for drying it, it would take longer but would also work fine.
