Hello,

Has anyone redyed the leather seats, if so, i am looking to have it done here in FLorida (Miami Area) if you know of someone, please let me know,

Thanks in advance,

 

Go to the resources "sticky". There's a link to some company in the "dying leather seats" thread. Haven't read it, but its probably worth a try to you.

Or, I suppose you could really let your car become a rolling junk yard and hope to get chosen for "Pimp My Ride". They do upholstery work on that show for free!

 

Check with some local Dealers for places that do repairs to leather.

I know there is people out there that do it down in that area.

We used to have a guy that came by us in Delray that did it.

 

Undertsand straight away that it will never be as durable as the original process, which is a multi step chemical/treatment process. Having said that, if your leathe ris in reasonable condition it'll come up well.
What redying will NOT fix is deep cracks, dry furry leather and brittleness.
The original dying/finishing process actually hardens the top layer of leather, once that surface hardening is gone, you can redye, but it'll keep wearing at a fairly high rate. Any finish that puts a gloss over these areas will wear off fairly quickly.
Frankly, if teh leather is bad, start saving for a reupholstering. It's nto as expensive as you might think, more often than not, the material that forms the "borders" (that is, the sides and back of the seats) can be very succesfully unpicked and reswen into new leather faces.
It's not nearly as expensive as you might think doing it this way, and it WILL last another 15-20 years.

Regards, Andrew.
