Messed Up Leather

[Saraj]

Hi,

Right I've been using Gunk Ultra on the trim to remove the black marks, which has been ideal, as I have not found anthing yet which does an effective job. However, overspray has ended up on the leather, causing that spot of spray on the leather to loose it color, well to be honest it cleaned it.

I dont want to use it on the leather, and end up loosing all its color, what can be recommended in order to restore the color. trust me its a mess will get pics soon.

If you've bleached the leather then you'll need a leather technician to colour it again - although I'm surprised that a cleaner you were using on your dash could be that strong?

if it's a black interior, I was given a tip by a trimmer...

use black shoe polish sparingly on a damp cloth.

(Obviously use at your own risk !!!!!!!!!!!!)

Why didnt you use a tiny bit on somewhere obscure first ?!?!?!?!

What is wrong with leather cleaner/polish in the first place ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

if its bleached then call a few re-trimming companies as they can re-tanalise the leather.. but i doubt that the products they use to do it would be availiable outside of their industry..

gotta be worth a go

You can get DIY leather dying kits, they work but require lots of patience. http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_R...CFQ4i3god6j6pDA

My mate changed some knackered tan leather TT seats to black to match the rest of the interior in his Golf, it done a good (not flawless though!) job to be fair.
