Leather Car Seat Repair

Repairing leather car seats restore their appearance and functionality. We repair minor damage to leather car seats, such as scratches, small tears, or scuffs

1. Assess the Damage

We carefully inspect the car seat to identify the extent of the damage. This includes noting any scratches, tears, or scuffs that require repair.

2. Clean the Leather

We begin by cleaning the leather seat using a leather cleaner. This involves applying a small amount of cleaner to a soft cloth or sponge and gently cleaning the affected area. We follow the cleaner's instructions.

If the leather is especially dirty, we mix the cleaner with water, use a soft cloth to clean the surface, rinse with a damp cloth, and pat dry.

3. Smooth Rough Edges (if needed)

For tears or rough edges, we use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth them down.

4. Repair Small Scratches and Scuffs

If there are minor scratches or scuffs, we often repair them with a leather filler. We follow the instructions for the repair, which usually involve applying a small amount of the filler to the damaged area, smoothing it out, and allowing it to dry. We repeat as necessary until the damage is filled and smooth.

5. Repair Small Tears

For small tears, we use a leather filler for repair. We clean the damaged area and apply the filler. Allow it to dry.

6. Color Restoration (if needed)

If the leather has lost its color in the damaged area, we use a leather dye for repair to match the color of the car seats. We apply the dye following instructions, typically by using a spray or applicator. Allow it to dry thoroughly.

7. Condition the Leather

We apply a leather conditioner to the repaired area and the entire seat to keep the leather moisturized and supple. This step helps prevent future cracking or damage.

8. Final Inspection

We inspect the repaired area to ensure it matches the surrounding leather and that the damage is no longer visible.
