Default Leather Seat Dye- WoW!!!

Just had a company by the name of "Color Creations" come out to my house last week. They did a leather dye on my front two seats that had faded and had wear cracks. They did both front seats. Took about an hour a seat. $150.00 was the total price and what a job they did?

The creases and worn areas are all but gone and the seas look brand new!
Cannot clean or condition seats for first 30 days. However, after 24 hours
you can use the seats no problem. Just be extra safe when getting in the seat. Kind of plop your self down into the seat versus draging your self over the seat.

Anyhow, this is a franchise and I am blown away. Now the seats in the back that looked brand new now look old since the front seats look like a museum quality seat. Try them, you will love them.

another shameless plug for those DIY types, I just did the door inserts in my car at Roger's house with Leatherique, and they came out pretty nice. I only did about 15 min of prep and 10 min of paint. Now with a bit of mild wet sanding and a rejuvinator coat, it'll be ready to install. They look very nice if I do say so.

I got a 16Oz bottle for my Lambo, and I have tons left over. I probably have enough to do 4 or 5 more cars. Prep is much like body work. Wet sand with 320, fill the cracks and divots with crack paste, spray two thin coats, and one finish coat then rejuve it.

Rick- Nice GTO!

I was a Pontiac nut prior to my 928 days. I had a 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom Convertable.
I sure as hell miss it now!!

Tiger gold, nice. I had a Tyrol Blue tri-power 4 spd '67 that was 'enhanced'. A dealership down here on the Cape has a '67 gold GTO selling for.....$30K!

Going leatherique route on some sport seats I snagged for my EUro.... many, many hours invested thus far.

Is that GTO on RT. 28? I didnt get a chance to stop to check it out, but from a distance it looked pretty good.

I have been told Dr. Vinyl does a good job on leather but I plan to do mine this fall using leatherique. I remember saying the same thing last year at this time?!

I also saw a White OB in Hyannis on Friday anyone here?
