    Restoring the leather on the S60R

    The bolster on the S60R was quite worn, so I did this quickly, I didnt have time to clean all the seats and use any of my leather cream. The bolster came up like new the colour match is perfect. All I did was prep the surface with a leather sanding pad, then clean it with lighter fluid and then apply the two dyes 1 was colour and the second was the metallic flake.

    After

    Thanks

    Looks great Martin. Did my bolster recently and very happy with the results. Got my dye kit from a place called bespoke leathering.

    I ordered mine from swissvax i've had it a few years now. I'm no professional but I did a better job than what the guy did to my dashboard
    Thanks
