"Bob heard about Leatherique and sent some photo's of his lounge including a "Shoe polish trial fix" We supplied him with the Rejuvinator Oil and Prestine Clean to get the leather right and soft and then he sent a sample of the colour and used the Prepping Agent and the dye. He's a happy man, in his words". "You saved me thousands". Before After Attempt to fix with shoe polish Attempt to fix with shoe polish Repaired with Leatherique range of products
“ Jon from Armidale in NSW recently (2010) bought a 7 series BMW that was great apart from some upholstery problems. He asked our advice to restore the leather and started on the drivers door arm rest that looked the worst. He stripped back some old, badly done, re dye. Then he used the Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Leatherique Prestine Clean to get the leather back into good condition. This was followed by Leatherique Crack Filler in all the cracks and flat sanding it to level it off. A wet sanding with the Leatherique Prepping agent followed by a couple of coats of the matched Leatherique Custom Colour Dye (matched to his head rest that he sent to us) “wiped on” and the door was back to looking as good as new. Next stage is the drivers seat and some golf bag marks on the back seat.” Total product ordered to do the job 500ml of each. Full Story Here Before After

"Gianetta in Sydney heard about Leatherique on 2GB radio DIY program. She had two lounge suites, one just need cleaning and one needed dying. She used Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil and Prestine Clean on both. The two seater came up really well, see photo. The three seater needed some crack / tear repairs and she shows how after placing a leather patch underneath she temporary pinned it in place to dry. There is a shot of the crack filler applied before dying. Click Here for photo’s of the completed Job. Great job Gianetta!"

"Henry has re done the whole of his Aston Martin interior. He used Leatherique throughout and sprayed it on with an airbrush after trying various other methods. To break the colour he applied a dark blue Leatherique dye to the piping after doing the seats, which has given it a really striking effect. This was a time consuming job with all the Leatherique products being used, oils, crack filler etc but the result was worth it. He brought it round to PPC to show us. Well done on an excellent job Henry." Total product ordered to do the job 500ml of each. Before After
The customer wanted to change the colour and get away from the two tone that he had on the original.
	"I thought you may be interested in the finished Leatherique product. I'm pleased with it, the problems were to re colour and trying to get different types of leather and different colours to all look the same, I've done the best I can, and it looks good. But, may I make the following comments, with regard to the instructions, first, there should be mention of "GOOD" quality brush, the softer the better, be prepared to use a few. Second, if I had more "Leatherique Prepping Agent" I would have used it, it really seemed to open up the leather and almost bleach some of the old dye out. This is important when trying to match darker colours to lighter colours. I found I was experimenting in the beginning, and with a bit more instruction I could have avoided that. That aside, a good finished product, so I'm happy."   Roger Coffs Harbour. 2008

Here are the before and after pics. The before pics were taken in the car. The after pics are the seats on the dining table. I hope you can see the difference from the photos because in the flesh the change is quite big. I'd definitely recommend to future users to take the time and apply the dye with the method you mentioned the other day. It produces a much better finish and it would take a real eagle eye to detect that it wasn't new leather. The experts say, "keep" sanding and then do a wipe coat as below. 1. Take a good quality paper towel 2. Dip in water 3. Wring dry 4. Make into a "powder puff" no edges 5. Dip in the dye 6. WIPE on the dye in a quick motion like putting on wax. The result is about a 2 mil finish which looks like an airbrush was used. You keep adding dye as each coat dries till the project is finished.
