Gliptone'd my front seats today


Recommended Posts

Not sure that this is a mod but it's interior. :wacko:

 

I bought some Gliptone this week, cleanser, conditioner and scuffmaster which is like a new dye.

 

Here are a couple of before and after pix, it was still drying but I'm pretty pleased with it so far, the bolster was horrible before I started. It's had three coats and I'll see what it looks like when it's dried properly and maybe do another coat. :thumbs:

Absolutely right :)

 

I don't think glipstone leather cleaner and conditioner per se(tried it on my 350) on it's own works..you need the scuffmaster to blend the colour in :thumbs:

Is it the 250ml Scuffmaster Automotive Kit what you went for?

 

Contents: 250ml Dye / 250ml GT12 & GT11 / 15ml Leather Degreasant, 65ml Gloss Enhancer / 1 x Cotton Cloth / 1 x Towelling Cloth / 1 x Nail Brush

1 x Small Leather Scented Air Freshener

 

£53

 

My seats are in a right state (from previous owners) cracking everywhere, especially where your arse goes on the perforated leather - several big flakes of the black 'top coat' come off to show orangey dry unfinished leather underneath... stands out like a sore thumb :angry:

You only need the Dye & the GT11/GT12 which comes to about £35 the other bits are non essential all you need is a softish nailbrush brush and some cotton cloth which is very cheap anyway, and you get the air freshner free anyway ;)

Stuff arrived today... will get some pics of progress tomorrow, will be interesting to see how much of my leather it can fix as it really is a mess!

i tried using this stuff...and to be honest, i never saw that much of a difference? i followed the instructions, damp cloth, gt12 and nail brush it in, then 10% water with dye then sponge it into the cracks and scuffs... let it dry, damp cloth the excess... i never used the small shine bottle.. so im not sure what i did wrong... certainly not getting the results others are getting..:shrug:

My seats were a right ****ing mess... thank you previous owner!

 

Anyway, Gliptone Scuffmaster kit is the bollocks! Not perfect, but a LOT better!

Leather conditioner, wipe on, dry, repeat... pleased with the results and would definitely reccommend it :D

 

Excess conditioner in the perforations... (white dots) will soak in.

As far as I remember there is a Nissan colour match section somewhere, you need to trawl through that and find your colour, mine are black so it was a doddle. :)
