In todays video, we show the process on how we repair severe damage on the center console of a VW Golf. This can be a common issue as this spot and other get constant abuse from a drivers elbow.
This one not only wore, but also cracked open and the edges of the damage were peeling up. We walk you through the process and show what kind of results we can get when repairing damaged leather and vinyl.

Well done Josh! Now for some help? I've got one of the Lexus's with the bad cracked dash issue. Any advice? Can I go Bondo to fill the cracks, sand them, and then color match it? There's about a dozen cracks but NO raised areas. Any advice on exactly what to use would be most helpful. And yes, Lexus is no longer honoring their Expanded Warranty on this huge problem they've had. TIA

@Canmakeitbetter Год назад

I’m been doing these repairs for 14 years, you need to start with a repair compound that you can press a pattern into on the initial pass instead of a sandable fill compound. Will save a lot of time and will keep you from having to use the sem texture coating. Also that sem texture will breakdown and become sticky after constant contact from the oils in skin. It’s meant for bumpers. Will also save the stitching.

@bricknmotor Год назад

Do you have a video sir because this guy said its gotta be heated up first but doesnt show how. Is it done with a hair dryer or a portable propane torch because i have one of those but not a hair dryer. I know id have to be really careful using the torch but ive got decades experience with welding and torching. He also said he was putting the grain look back into it but it looks pretty smooth to me

@shady0079 Год назад

@@bricknmotor I do this as well. you can use ether. but in my opinion viper makes a better texture sem is'nt bad I have used it many times but viper dries better. and use a graining pad as "can make it better" states above.

No its a special dye base that we use specifically made for leather and vinyl! Harsh chemicals can break it down but just stay away from spraying anything super strong on the area
