Default SEMs - To the Rescue!

1 picture says it all. This stuff is nuts. You can apply such a thin layer and it will spread over the entire area. Scratch it and the leather scratches, not the spray.

My arm rest was attacked by mistreatment. I fixed the tears with a leather filler and I used SEMs Landau Black for it. Lexol conditioner to treat it and its smooth as glass.

like I said.. 1 picture says it all.

I roughed it up with one of those green pads and cleaned it with Dawn.

I got SEM cheap on ebay, $8 a can. I just got lucky, it was the guys last 5.

Heh, thanks. I will be buying a black w/ red stitching eventually, but I got sick of the ripped, worn tan. Looked like total garbage.

I will be doing black/tan. I want to start now, but when I move off in a few months I will be able to rip apart my car and do this while I walk to class. Basically all the brown will be black, w/ reupholstered seats (f/r), armrest (door and center) and black/ red stitching boots (ebrake / shiftboot if i finally 5sp swap it). I will be dyeing the carpet.

The thing that makes me put this off is the carpet and the dash top. I just dont have the time currently to do it.

Matt

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps I'll use that stuff next time instead of the VHT dye (which has worked well for me so far).

That is amazing. I can't get over how good that looks. This stuff works better than Ron Popeil's GLH Formula Number 9 Hair System:
Got a bald spot? Ron Popeil can fix it with the GLH Formula Number 9 Hair System. Great Looking Hair isn't real hair but a spray that matches your hair color, thickens thinning hair, and covers bald spots. More than one million cans have sold for only $9.95 for the spray or $19.95 for the spray, shampoo, and finishing shield.
You younger guys probably have no idea who Ron Popeil is and I probably showed my 35 years of age.
