That was quite the transformation. I had not seen the leather repair like that before. Seems to work really well though!
WOW, he even sand and repaint the hub and the wheel nuts and repair the leather seat damage. I wonder how much is he charging for this detail.
Yall sure like to disassemble cars over in Europe...lol. Muy buen trabajo! What paint did you use for the hubs?
Simply Incredible! Could you please share what you used to repaint the key surround? I have the exact same problem on a Cayman. The rubbery paint just flakes off everything.
