Thanks in advance.




and maybe something for the seats, same criteria ......

 

For your seats man, I would just have them dyed by someone who knows what they're doing. For a point of reference, here's some pics of my seats which we dyed at the shop. Mind you, it's a temporary fix but it's much cheaper than outright replacing the leather.


Here are pics before:





I think those show just how nasty the bolsters were. Now here's the pics after dying. Keep in mind we just dyed the seats and did not repair any panel of the seat.

Nice, but what does something like that cost? This is a $2K car I'm working with.

 

Ah, gotcha. Well, it was free for me since I work at the shop. For this, it wouldn't be more than a couple hundred bucks.

 

For your seats, get in contact with the following and ask for their advice. You'll have to send a sample for color matching, but it will be well worth it. You can dye them yourself without any problem:

For a $2,000 car I can't imagine you want to sink a lot of money into dying your leather seats. If this were my car, I would simply do my best to clean up and condition the seats. For over-the-counter leather products that seem to be widely available, check out the Lexol line.

To clean that dirty engine bay, you may need to resort to one of the Gunk Engine Brite products, which are also widely available. I see that they now have a VOC-free engine degreaser. Check out the demos. Once you get the engine bay clean, you'll be able to use less aggressive products to maintain the bay. Do check out the various articles on engine bay cleaning included in this list of links.
