2003 Range Rover, Deep Cleaning Leather seats

[Ravi_1992]

Hey Everybody

My cousins range rover needed some attention with its leather seats, they were really dirty and just didn't look good at all. They had years of dirt and grime built up and just wiping them down with a leather cleaner product wasn't gonna cut it.

As for the rest of the interior, they vacuum it to keep the carpet clean but that's about all they know how to do.

Most of my pics are about the seats since the rest was already pretty clean.


Before:


Passenger seat







Drivers seat, this was the worst of all. Notice how years of dirt and body oils make the seat look greasy and shiny







Back seats











It would have been hard to see the difference between before and afters since the color is beige/tan so I took 50/50s randomally as a I was going.

Here's my process.

- Clean all leather and hard surfaces with APC 10:1 and agitate with a brush
- Condition leather with Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner
- Condition vinyl with M40


50/50s




Hard to tell on this one, better in person!




The next two pretty much speak for them selves







Used some masking tape this time to show a clearer 50/50



During





After:


Passenger seat







Between the seats, remember the 50/50 of this




Drivers seat. Huge Improvement







Back seats




















Heres a got of the dash areas after being cleaned the same way


This one was taken right after I wiped off the APC, it looks like I missed a spot

Its was pouring outside so the windows got fogged up.

I'm going to do the exterior too but I have to wait till we get some good weather cause I can't pull it into the garage.

Thanks for looking

The dirty floor mat you see in the passenger side is not from this truck. I just put it in so I could step on it with my wet shoes. Just in case someone was wondering.

Good job Ravi, they look much better.

It was nice to see those 50/50 shots. I don't think I've seen a 50/50 leather shot before. You could really see the improvement.

Thanks Bill, I did the 50/50s to prove to my cousin that his seat were nasty. He would have never believed me if I just cleaned them all, he would've said they look the same

I was very effective in showing how dirty they actually were.

It's strange how that works (not seeing the difference). Often when I do a project I don't realize just how much of an improvement was made until I go back and look at the before photos. I think it's a great idea to show the client what their vehicle looked like before, so they can truly appreciate the after.

That's a big difference between left and right. Curious, did you use APC and various brushes also ?
