Leather seats cracking
I haven't really taken a lot of notice lately but the seats on my HDI estate have been cracking. What could I use and could I get them resprayed, I have a friend who can do it but not really sure what the downfalls are?

Re: Leather seats cracking
I used some stuff off ebay on our leather suite and it worked a treat, and that's ivory. Did it about a year ago and itd stilll looking good. Its a sort of paint and you apply it with a sponge or rag.

Re: Leather seats cracking
I've used similar products from this company, also with good results:

You can call them or e-mail a picture of the damage etc., and they can advise on the best course of action.

Re: Leather seats cracking
That damage is very extensive, and the leather will need to be sanded, and the cracks filled with a flexible leather filler and then resprayed to get them to look like new again. It looks like UV damage, were the seats ever protected with any products?

I am not sure weather any care products were ever aplied before I bought the car, though I have applied some lately. Will the respray have any problems with discoloration? I used to own a discovery with seats that were slightly a different color to the rest[emoji2]

Re: Leather seats cracking
Black is fairly easy to match well so I wouldn't anticipate any issues.

Re: Leather seats cracking
Yes, be glad you have the black leather and not the dark blue. It's just light enough that a black treatment looks out of place.

Hi! I new to this Forum so i'll give some iformations to this Leather seats cracking.
Cracked leather seats can decrease the value of a car in addition to being an eyesore. However, you can repair your leather seats with a variety of simple materials found at an automotive paint store. The process takes about two hours and will leave your leather car seats looking as good as new.

Re: Leather seats cracking
I used liquid leather to fill it these cracks. After can you paint with correct colour. I like Leatherique rejuvenator and prestine cleaner to restore your seats. My seats are in next photography.

Re: Leather seats cracking
Slightly off topic, but I see you have the no-smokers kit. What are the 2 extra bits/buttons in the cover..??
