How A Ferrari’s Leather Car Seat Is Professionally Restored | Refurbished
){kind=link}
So basically he Bondo the seat and paint over it. Here I thought he was doing a restore.
The car is now few HP less without the red stitching.
So many upholstery "experts" in the comments. Many of whom likely can't personally afford the demands they make of the leather restorer. Good Lord, do you all judge people in your personal life as heavily as you do of the person in the video?
The head rest remained in really bad shape.
I mean… thats not a ferrari seat at all anymore now lmao. Way too glossy and no red stitching?? Its a rarri man… the stitching is half the price of the car.
I'm confused…people who can afford cars worth millions actually spend on repairing their covers and not getting them changed all together… Also the finished product quality is not at par with a new seat cover… So why?
My side support on the driver’s side has the same issues and now the leather is showing wear-and- tear and I’m always careful how I get in my driver’s seat. The idea of reupholstering a luxury car seat is frightening because, like going to a mechanic shop they know how to read you when it comes to pricing and more often than not the job price is astronomical, but I’m going the reupholstered and structural work route … spray painting is okay if you want to spend twice, it eventually wares off again, but I feel if the seat’s is still going to look compressed and the leather will still have stretch marks voids , then a repack of foam is necessary in order for the seat to look like new. And because the seat has sections, I can inquire about the areas that are most obviously damaged. The leather has already been stretched, thinned, so sanding it only removes more fiber which makes the original thickness of 1/8” even thinner which means the leather will eventually tear.
Unfortunately, red stiching is gone, but great job anyways.
Take it to a upholstery shop bro
I do leather upholstery too and I agree with the many others stating this looks terrible. Someone with such an expensive car should have opted to get the worn parts like the side and leg bolsters replaced with new leather. No matter how flexible that sealer is, it doesn't last. The oils from you body get under it and make the splitting look much worse. In a 2 day time, I can tear the seat down, build a pattern from the worn leather, redye the leather the correct way, and put it back together keeping the beautiful contrast of the red french seams on the black leather.
This video is not how a professional restores leather seats in a Ferrari. This is how a professional car flipper has the seats done to sell to some poor unknowing soul.
