I guess if I had a bad experience, I'd make the same comments.

However, I dyed my seats over 6 years ago. They still look great. The only spot that shows wear is where the seat belt comes across. No dye comes off on my clothes, and I regularly treat the leather to soften it.

Bottom line if they are prepped correctly, dyed correctly, and allowed to cure correctly, you can do a decent job. The recommended curing time with Leatherique is 48 hours. I let mine cure a week.

I've also dyed the seats in two 7 series BMW's and a partial in my M5; same results.

Do it right; no stress no drama and you don't have to redye frequently.

That is a DEAL!! With the time & labor involved, plus supplies, his labor is like $100. But if you DIY you will have a lot of product left over.

It is reassuring to ear that it can be correctly made !

Conclusion is : ask a pro and/or use good dying products ?

This is almost worth driving from AZ to Van Nuys to do. I've got a similar bad dye job on seats in otherwise great condition. Anyone know of this level of expertise in AZ?

You might want to call Doug Snow (see my previous post with his phone number), he is a national trainer and may know someone that he has trained in AZ...

Great idea. Thanks.

Reviving this old thread... wondering if the job has held up and if this type of dyeing can be used to change an entire interior?

Javier, yes, the redying has held up. It has been approximately 2 years, and the seats still look great. I think Doug used an elasticized dye, which expands with the stretching that leather has to undergo when people sit on seats and get up regularly. His contact information is in the thread. jim

Thanks, Jim!
