    Touching up those leather seats/bolsters/steering wheels

    This is my first post, so I figured that I'd do what I can to contribute to this forum before I benefit from it (which I'm sure I will very soon).

    Anyway, if your leather seat bases/backs/bolsters and/or steering wheel are in decent shape (no large cracks or tears) but has that old Bomber Jacket look, & has lost its finish by 'spiderwebbing', I've discovered an excellent and inexpensive method to touch up leather sport seats and/or steering wheels. The results are amazing.
    My initial job was 5 years ago on my Porsche. Classic Gray leather. It's still holding up to this day.
    I just finished the black interior on my '88 325i Convertible. Most people, car buffs or not - think that I reupholstered them.
    Instead of rehashing all of the steps and reprinting all of the comments, take a look for yourself (if you don't mind lurking on a Porsche forum ;) ).
    Here's the link to my writeup.
    Feel free to ask any questions here. I'll be happy to answer!

      Here are the before & after pics of the driver's side bolster in my Porsche. The Classic Gray is a very unique color with a touch of Burgundy in it.
      You can see how well the color matched. I used the same color matching process for my 325, but being a black interior, getting a match was much easier.

        Definetly worth looking into, my rear m3 seat has a lot of cracking like your bolster....
