At Kartal Auto, we are committed to maintaining the prestige and elegance of high-performance vehicles, and we recently had the privilege of restoring the upholstery in the iconic Aston Martin Vanquish. The luxurious interior of this masterpiece required meticulous attention to detail to address several issues that affected its condition. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the problems we found and the exceptional solutions we provided to restore the interior to its original splendor.
Issue found
1. Worn and Faded Leather Upholstery
Issue:
The leather upholstery in the Vanquish, which defines its luxurious interior, had suffered from noticeable wear and fading, especially on the driver’s seat, door panels, and armrests. Exposure to sunlight and regular use had taken its toll on the leather, leaving it looking dull and tired.
Solution:
Our expert team carefully cleaned and reconditioned the leather to restore its original richness. We sourced high-quality, OEM-grade leather to match the Vanquish’s distinctive color and texture. After replacing any worn-out panels, we re-dyed and applied a protective coating to preserve the leather’s vibrancy and ensure long-lasting durability.
2. Cracked and Peeling Vinyl Trim
Issue:
In some areas, the vinyl trim around the door panels and center console had started to crack and peel, negatively affecting the aesthetic appeal of the cabin.
Solution:
To address this, we meticulously removed the damaged vinyl trim and replaced it with high-end, automotive-grade vinyl that matched the original finish. We also ensured that the new vinyl trim was applied with precision, restoring the sleek and cohesive look of the interior.
3. Faded Stitching and Thread Wear
Issue:
The distinctive stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and dashboard had begun to fade and fray in some areas, compromising the luxury feel of the cabin.
Solution:
Our upholstery team carefully removed the affected stitching and replaced it with high-strength, color-matched thread that was both durable and aesthetically consistent with the original stitching. We paid close attention to detail, ensuring that the stitching was precise and restored the luxurious craftsmanship that Aston Martin is known for.
4. Stains and Discoloration on Fabric Areas
Issue:
Certain fabric areas, including the headliner and center console, had accumulated stains and discoloration that detracted from the overall cleanliness of the interior.
Solution:
We used specialized cleaning solutions designed for delicate fabrics to lift and remove stains without damaging the material. After deep cleaning, we applied fabric protectants to prevent future stains and ensure the upholstery remained fresh and spotless. The fabrics now look as pristine as they did when they first left the factory.
5. Misaligned Seat Covers
Issue:
Some of the seat covers were slightly misaligned due to wear and tear from frequent use, which caused the seats to appear uneven and uncomfortable.
Solution:
We carefully disassembled the seats, realigned the covers, and reinstalled them with precision. Any worn-out padding or foam was replaced to ensure the seats retained their original shape and comfort level. The result is a perfectly aligned and plush seating arrangement, both functional and visually appealing.
