Got a great deal on these so I had to pick them up. I have been looking for a pair for a while....Only problem was the seller let them sit in this outdoor garage type area so they were really dirty so when I got them home I got a rag and was scrubbing them as hard as I could to get all the dirt off....then parts started peeling off the back. The i recall the seller telling me I could spray paint the seats. Im thinking thats what he did....cuz leather doesnt peel like that. I am going to attempt to take the power wash to the seats to clean them really good. I hope this doesnt damage them... what do you guys think? Here are some pics

power wash with water will make the leather hard and lose all its oils, you can re-oil the leather but eventually this will do more harm than good.
there are leather dye kits that work wonders and IF DONE PROPERLY wont stain your cloth or transfer in any way. the very first step is to clean the leather with a rag and alcohol to remove the oils on surface and inpurities. then light sand with 1500 grit paper, then you you clean again with alcohol, wait for it to dry and apply the dye. I did this countless times to my military shoes lol. and did it ONCE on my wife's camry. interior still looks wonderful. --------------------  |
