When I purchased the car previous owner told me that the person he bought the car from, had the entire interior reupholstered, front & back seats & all door cards It looked great in person brand new even. I’m and idiot for not inspecting the seats. Anyway whoever dyed the interior white did it over the original aged lotus white leather. I went in on the bolsters and sort of separated them and realized right away that they were dyed. I’ll upload some pictures to show the color difference. The original lotus white leather on mtechnics tends to darken and appear grey over the years and next to the white dye its wayyyyy off. The bottoms of my white seats look as if the leather was peeling but it’s not it’s just the dye wearing off and revealing the original darker color on bottom. The leather itself is in really good shape, there are no cracks whatsoever. I’d hate to have my entire interior redone & I at the moment can’t afford an entire upholstery job. I was wondering if I there’s a way to remove the dye without damaging the leather? Am I better of touching them up? Is there a product out there to sort of seal and protect the dye from wearing off? I honestly prefer the gray interior over the white ( it’s a beoooch to keep clean). Attached are pictures of the interior when I first got it I’ll snap a couple pictures of the drivers worn seat bottom shortly
