At Kartal Auto, we take pride in working on high-end luxury cars, and our recent upholstery restoration for an Aston Martin One-77 was no exception. Known for its world-class craftsmanship, the One-77 required meticulous attention to detail during the restoration process. During our work, we identified several upholstery-related issues that needed expert solutions. Here’s how we addressed each problem and returned this iconic vehicle to its luxurious, original condition.
Key Issues Identified & Our Expert Solutions
1. Cracked and Faded Leather Upholstery
Issue: The leather upholstery, especially on the seats and door panels, showed visible signs of cracking and fading due to exposure to sunlight and wear over time.
Solution: We replaced the worn-out leather with premium Nappa leather, which we sourced specifically to match the One-77’s sophisticated style. To prevent future fading, we applied a UV protective layer that safeguards the leather from sun damage while enhancing its durability.
2. Worn-Out Seat Cushioning
Issue: The seat foam had deteriorated, leading to flattened cushions and reduced comfort, especially on long drives.
Solution: We carefully replaced the old foam with high-density memory foam, ensuring the seats retained their comfort and support. The new foam gave the seats a firmer, more resilient feel, enhancing the overall driving experience.
3. Loose or Torn Stitching
Issue: The stitching on the upholstery had started to come loose in some areas, leading to uneven seams and a compromised finish.
Solution: We restitched the leather using premium, automotive-grade thread that perfectly matched the original stitching. This restored both the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of the upholstery.
4. Damaged Leather Panels
Issue: Some leather panels on the seats and dashboard had become scratched and scuffed, detracting from the luxury feel of the interior.
Solution: We performed a thorough restoration of the leather panels, using specialized techniques to remove scratches and restore the leather’s texture. We then treated the panels with a protective leather conditioner to ensure they remain soft and supple for years to come.
5. Fading and Stains on the Interior Surfaces
Issue: The interior surfaces, including the seats, had accumulated stains and discoloration over time, resulting in a lackluster appearance.
Solution: We carried out a deep cleaning and restoration process, carefully removing stains without causing any damage to the material. We used a color restoration treatment to return the upholstery to its original, rich tone, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the cabin.
