Burnt orange seats

[dyla350z]

Just spent 6hrs giving my seats the complete gliptone leather refurb,great results,easy to use & results are stunning,so good im keeping my original seats & selling my newly puchased orange seats. tried to load a pic but it said not valid

[spursmaddave]

Did you use the G11 conditioner and G12 cleaner? Been thinking of getting some... You got some before and after pics?

 

Try making the pics smaller than 1000 width or height

[dyla350z]

Yes i used the complete kit,cleaned twice,conditioned twice & 3 light sponged on dye,they look like new,going to condition once more & fit,i went for the 500mm kit as ive got 2 sets but i reckon a 250mm kit would do 3 seats & a bit left over for touch ups,cant say enough good things about the stuff,

[spursmaddave]

Did you use the scuffmaster kit?

[dyla350z]

Yes,ordered thurs,arrived sat,lots of elbow grease but worth every beed of sweat.

[spursmaddave]

Cheers fella, have been considering it as I have a nasty scuff on my drivers side.

 

[dyla350z]

only advice ide give is light coats of the dye 30mins between applications,use a sponge as the brush looked a bit streaky,good luck im sure your be impressed with the results.

Do you have before and after kits? Do they have the exact colour match? I'm thinking of doing this to mine but having trouble finding all the details I want.

I got the kit through last week, they do a Black or Burnt Orange colour match. A big bottle of dye, probly enough for all of both seats, a bottle of soft cleaner and a bottle of conditioner (enough for probably at least 10 treatments) came to just over £30.

 

All I have had time to do so far is use the cleaner but OMG how much crap came off the seats are really clean and matt (how leather should be) I need to apply some dye to the bolster (usually the worst bit) and a couple of other places, then I will post some pics as I took some before ones

These are mine:

 

 

Looks worse in the photo than in person I think! Do you think this kit is appropriate for the creases / scuffs you see there?

really want to do my. Dyla do you have a link?

Indeed it is

 

Have a look at the website and google scuffmaster you will find lots of pics of seats looking like yours and then almost new.

I got 250ml Scuffmaster, and a 65ml bottle of G11 & G12

 

As I say I have only used the G12 so far but very impressed with that alone!

 

Here are a couple of pics from detailingworld.co.uk

Sounds like they are going to be getting some of my money!

Don't think you will regret it, my seats are nowhere near as bad as yours apart from 1 spot on the bolster where jeans rub it getting in and out.

I think someone spent a fair bit of time grinding their ass into my bolster :/

Ok.. so I'm going to order 2003 Burnt Orange scuffmaster + G11 + G12... I'll probably post a seperate thread when I get around to treating my leather

Good luck from what I have read it is best to do it nice and slowly and leave each stage a day or so, you get loads of instructions anyway

[dyla350z]

Yes take your time,when you do the first coat of dye it wil prob looked streaky but after about 5 light coats it looked brand new,they give you some gloss to add to the dye if you want a shiney finish,imo it looks better without,a day after i app the last dye i then app conditioner,anther tip is only dye the bits that need doing as the liq leath is perfect match

Whatever turns you on.....

any progress on this?

[shad0wca7]

No update yet, I've been busy / ill

After reading this thread, i thought i would have a go on my orange seats with the liquid leather cleaner and conditioner..

 

Wow what a result, 3 hours later of toothbrush scrubbing and cleaning with lint free cloths....

 

Me and my step dad couldn't quite believe how bloody good this stuff is..I should have taken some before and after photos, a massive transformation. The leather has become softer and more vibrant in colour.

 

The amount of dirt that came of the seats/handbrake/gear stick and s/wheel was mad. I had a few small creases on the drives bolster which were really bothering me, totally removed them now, it was just dirt. Well chuffed.

 

Job done.

[shad0wca7]

I've been working on this today. Not sure how much cleaner to use though. Couldn't get a really really soapy lather going but already managed to get rid of a lot of dirt.

 

How frothy did your seats become? How much shampoo did you use and have you conditioned them yet?

[dyla350z]

not much froth.cleaned twice.conditioned twice and letft the last 1 a couple of days before adding dye,looked new when finished,small tip dont worry if it looks streaky,drys great after 3 or 4 coats.

[shire350Z]

sounds a great result guys going to order mine soon
