Re-pigmenting Car Leather (seat, dashboard, upholstery...)

To re-colour car leather (in matching tones), the AVEL products allow you to use a procedure similar to leather finishing in the tanning industry. These products can be applied on all smooth and non varnished leathers.

1- The first step is to remove all stains (if necessary) and clean the leather thoroughly.

- To remove resisting stains, please consult the advice card:" Removing Stains on Car Leather".

In all cases, begin by thoroughly cleaning your leather with Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL. It removes all coats of wax, gives back to the leather its natural appearance and opens its pores to improve penetration of the pigmenting cream.

. Don't forget to eliminate residue of sebum with Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray. Sebum is fatty and will hinder pigment penetration.

. The ideal way to prepare your leather afterwards is by treating it with Polish Thinner, a very easy operation of little cost. But this treatment is not essential on all types of leather. Only a test in our lab can determine whether it is. In case of doubt, prefer to have your leather tested.

2- Once the leather is clean, dry and totally greaseless, you can start the repigmenting process to get back the leather's original finish by removing discolouration, traces of wear, cracks...

Proceed in 2 steps :
• Spread Pigmenting Cream AVEL by massaging it onto the leather in small quantities with a Foam Applicator Pad or with a Cotton Cloth. Let dry for about 3 hours. Check the correct penetration of the product and the choice of colour on a hidden part of the leather. If necessary, apply a second coat but only after fixing the first coat! Two thin coats are better than one thick layer.
• Afterwards, it is essential to fix the Pigmenting Cream AVEL with Pigmenting Cream Fixing Spray AVEL . Once fixed in-depth, the staying power will be perfect and the product will not discharge on clothes.

Remarks :
- Valmour also proposes a made -to-order Pigmenting Cream AVEL (see advice card "Ordering a Made-to-Order Pigmenting Cream"). We will invoice this service 45 €. Please provide a leather sample of 2 cm² min.
- Allow about 30 € per seat for a colour in stock and 50 € per seat for a colour made-to-measure.
- to brighten up the colour without necessarily re-dyeing , please consult the advice card "Renovation and Care for Car Leather".
- to re- pigment small surfaces (steering wheel, bellows of gearshift...) use Dye JUVACUIR or Renovating Cream Saphir, which you don't need to fix afterwards.

As soon as you receive your products, we recommend to carry out all these operations on a small hidden part of your leather( on the back of a cushion, for example) to check the compatibility and the necessary quantities. You can also send us a leather sample to test for you.
