How You Do It
We suggest you remove the seats from the vehicle - it makes the job easier in the long run, no drips on the trim or carpets.
Clean the leather using GT12 Cleaner using a finger nail brush, the brush is provided in the kit. This cleaner is very thick and contains glycerine, which softens as it cleans, this also impregnates the important stitching with a lubricant.
When happy with the cleaning, the Conditioner is applied to soften the leather further, (you needn’t wait for the leather to dry). If the leather is very dry and old, spend time applying further coats over several days until it’s very soft, this is very important for a long lasting finish.
Clean the leather again but lightly with the GT12 cleaner to remove any residue of Conditioner, leave to thoroughly dry, then wipe over all the leather and vinyl (if you are colouring the vinyl) with the Leather Degreasant, paying particular attention to the creases and stitching, leave for about 30 minutes to dry off or speed it up with a hair dryer.
The dye can now be applied, firstly rub undiluted dye by hand into the worn areas and creases, rub well in and leave to dry, apply the main coats by sponge, brush, mini roller or the best and most economical method, by spray gun (we can supply a “hobby” spray gun), these coats should be done with the dye diluted with water.
