Cool that is, il have some for when i sell my seats

[dk73 1]

Looks good pal, but is the paint sealed?, What i mean is it safe to wear a white t-shirt on a summers day driveing?

[Rom 0]

Good results.

 

Been reading up on stuff like this over on DW forums. Some crazy stuff is possible. One guy changed his red seats to cream, or vice versa .

 

Ive recently rebolstered and covered my seats, but ofc, the covers are still 20 yeards old, so would still benefit. here just better than the original ones.

[MerlinGTI 3]

Yea its not paint mate its a dye. After 12 hours its completely colour fast. This isnt shoe polish, its a long term fix.

See that yellow seat cover in the background? Its for my drivers seat and Its still yellow

 

The dye only adhears to the cracks/scuffs. When you condition the leather (final step) the dye comess off the non damaged leather. The conditioner also makes it smell like leather again! Permantly.

 

Lots of instructions and steps, but worth it

[dk73 1]

Thats a good job you've done there.

 

I did my driver and passenger seat with some great stuff from the paint doctor.

 

Have attached some pics of the drivers before and after.....( I did replace the bolsters aswell).

 

The kit even comes with crack restorer, tints to suit your seat colour, gloss or matt finish and sealer. The results are amazing even if I do say so myself.

I used the scratch doctor kit as dk73 has above, on my grey leather seats and its done a great job. Only done the rears so far because the fronts need rebolstered but its a good kit

[Dave_McC 0]

Miamichris - which colour / code did you get? I've also got a miami Ltd ed, and my seats could do with a bit of TLC!

 

Thanks

Also, does the dye not also dye the red stitching?

[dk73 1]

Hey, has you see ive done this to my front seats, and yes it does dye the red stitching, just be careful and avoid the red stitching.

[Dave_McC 0]

ok - thanks - thought that might be so!

[Richie 32]

Quality, im buying some ! Nice one.

 

The order forms a bit confusing innit. Do i need conditioner gt11 or gt13, what did you put in for the "colour name of leather"?

You need 1x scuffmaster kit (peugeout 205 GTI charcole - Unless you have black leather, in which case I dunno)

 

1x GT11 (cleaner)

 

1x GT12 (conditioner)

 

= £26 delivered. Phone them up their website is rubbish and confusing.

[Richie 32]

Thanks merlin. Im quite excited about applying this product, saved me sourcing better seats. I have the same seats as you.

[Gentry_Ba 1]

hi!

 

very nice results with liquid leather, I'm amazed!

when my seats gonna wear, I will try it!

 

if your seats have only minimal wear, then you can try to bye some horse-stuff. The last years I always used expensive stuff, but nothing worked as good as the horse-stuff! (and this is very cheap!)

 

here a few pictures of my 205 gentry leather interieur (after using horse stuff...) - now the car is garaged, it only runs 5 month a year.

 

 

(...and yes, I know, my steering wheel is on the wrong side... )

 

cheers,

Top top product.

(...and yes, I know, my steering wheel is on the wrong side... )

No, it's not!

 

 

Wow, this stuff is really good - Richie's pics sum it up!

 

I'll have to get this for my seats.

[d7ve_b 44 1 Cars]

Awesome

 

Is the charcoal half leather colour shown here the same colour as the full grey leather seats from a Ltd Edition Miami?

[skeggyrik 3]

Thought i'd correct that for you. Nice seats mind you.

@cybernck: I'm not alone? VERY NICE!

 

@skeggyrik: there are more cars with the steering wheel on the left side, instead of the right...

 

one day we should build a 205 which has two steering wheels, two speedos, two sets of pedals, etc...

would be funny- and comfortably usable on both type of roads... (europe grows together, why not the cars, too?)

 

cheers,

matthias

What side of the car it is on is of no concern to me.

The fact it looks like it's been taken out of a 50's Grand prix car was my concern

[paul205mi16 4]

so what colour do people with black 205 gti leather seats use? as its not show on their site. http://www.liquidleather.com/auto%20colour%20bank.htm

Gone things come to those ho wait , it took me a year to find another good set of front phase 1/ 1.5 t to build a mint set, then I came across a few more, which are in my loft.

 

Few pics, I have gave them a good wet vacs after these photo's where taking to get rid of the little stains.
