My drivers seat bolster wasn’t the worst but I wanted to freshen it up. For £10 and 20 mins effort I’m chuffed with the result.

Starting state:

Quick degrease and clean:

Now a deep breath and sand down. I stated with a 1200 grit paper but built up confidence to a light 180 grit.

Finally dab on the Colourlock Leather Fresh and dry with the hairdryer / heatgun. I did three coats drying in between.

I’ve left it to cure over night and see what it looks like tomorrow. Not sure if adding more coats would make difference at this point.

If I did it again I’d probably be a little bolder and get it smoother still but it’s a great finish.
 
Looks great, well done :thumbsup:
Now I'm wondering which of their colours would work with Champagne Nappa Leather.

They have the BMW swatches already mixed
You’ll find the champagne already there: https://www.colourlock.com/bmw_leather_dye_colour_chart.html
