    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? 🤔

    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

    @crisismcnoodle Před rokem +1

    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
      @grandtourerpt Před rokem +1

      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.

    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.
