Leather repair or professional

My front two seats especially drivers seat could do with some help. I was gonna get a kit from these guys, they have the exact colour and their YouTube video looks impressive and v easy to do.

Have a look at my seats, let me know if it's worth getting a professional, personally I have confidence in myself that I wouldn't mess it up (too much) Laughing

I did this to my 911 a few years back and keep meaning to tidy up the Rangey seats. As long as you take your time and follow the instructions you can get good results with the kits. Infact as mine is the same colour I might order one and finally do mine! Thumbs Up Reformed

Not tried the furnitureclinic, but Gliptone are always highly recommended for their dyes, conditioners and cleaners. Tom

2004 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver

I have used a kit from furniture clinic and they are very easy to use if you follow their instructions. The spraying is very easy especially as its nothing like using a spray can. I used it to redo a panel on the leather sofa for the front room and have seriously given that panel another 5 years life.

The way i thought about it was if i mucked it up i was going to get a new one anyway, but you could then get a 'proffesional' to fix it if you go wrong. the hardest part for me was choosing the right colour with the right finish 2007 3.0L Diesel VW Touareg SE

i've just giving the seats a going over with autoglym cleaner, then the balm. it brings them up nice and gives a softer feel to the leather.

I purchased a kit of ebay from The Scratch Doctor and have to say its very good, the kit contains a compound which hardens to a rubber like substance and can be used to fill scratches and holes like in your beading, you can then dye and treat the repair with gloss or matt finish and its virtually invisable.

Right so looks like a DIY job for me..ill let yous know how I get on and post some pictures.

I use autoglym to clean and balm to protect, it's fine but it can't help with the worn parts of the leather..
