Breathe life into leather interior?

That includes the drying time of the filler sponge coat dye coats via air brush and fixer and I was doing other stuff in between but still too time consuming for me, to have them recovered and me do no work for £150 more its a no brainer

I only did the front seats.
I was going to fill, but by the time I had sanded the seats backs I didn't need to, so I just sprayed them, then dabbed with the sponge to get a decent coat and sprayed another coat to get the factory finish.
Oh, and then put a top coat of matte on.

Took me just over 4 hours, that was including taking the seats out and getting all the sagginess out using a heat gun, and putting them back in.


25 hours seems crazy.

can you explain using a heat gun to remove the sagginess?

Yeah, just where they get old and baggy/saggy, if you put a heat gun on it it pulls it tight again.

If you have a steamer even better, that pulls it back good as new.

Hair dryer on hottest setting will work too btw, just takes a little longer.
