Popular Post exeterjeep Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Been working on the seats and side pocket. 4 before/after pics... the ns pocket elastic was broken and was glued in. the seats have had the holes/cracks filled and re coloured with proper leather treatment. Have now applied some satin finish to change the appearance from more matt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giniw Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) I am curious to know too! Apparently this kind of magic sponge works well https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cleaning-Melamine-Multi-Functional-Cleaner-Accessories/dp/B07K8MSR3J (https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/71107-ians-s4s-refurb/?page=85#comment-957699) But where did you order the leather dye @exeterjeep ?

exeterjeep Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Tried a few options but started with the side bolster - just the drivers side - as could not make it a lot worse. The colour of the front seat face seems to be different from the sides/back before I started, so just treated these front parts of the seats. Magicfly Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit, 10 Colours for Sofa Couches Furniture Repair and Touch Ups Kit Leather Patch Scratch Repair for Car Seat, from Amazon. It fills the splits etc - don't know how long it will last. Then a RAL code matched leather dye, used on both seats https://thescratchdoctor.co.uk/product/ral-leather-colour-matching-service/ Bought one of those RAL colour fan charts, before I ordered, also went down to the local body shop who are used to assessing colours to agree which code was closest. Sprayed it on using a small can air brush, and also used my air compressor with a small gravity touch up, with the air pressure set quite low. But took ages to mask round - I am a bit impatient... Also Used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363333879353?var=632536274759 Scratch Doctor Leather Preparer Kit Leather Prep and Alcohol Cleaner - but only used the cleaner. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271111935390?var=570129625412 for Leather Sealant Finish Waterproof and Scratch Resistant Leather Top Coat Matt then satin. For a couple of finish coats I used. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265098669471 4 Foam Sponge Art Paint Brush as this saved masking things up again. Does look a lot better than it was, and now in the satin finish it looks slightly better than the pic, Also used the cleaners/ satin finish on the door pocket I got off a side panel from ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 No p/ex for me. SUV not my thing, Emira I'm sure fabulous but Evora more than satisfying enough for me. I prefer the styling on Evora too, especially early 'S1' normally aspirated. I really hope Lotus future is bright. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
