At Kartal Auto, we specialize in luxury car upholstery restoration, offering top-tier craftsmanship and materials to bring your vehicle’s interior back to its original elegance. Our recent project involved a comprehensive upholstery restoration for an Aston Martin DB9, where we identified several issues that needed attention. Here’s how we transformed the interior and solved the problems along the way:
Key Issues Identified & Our Expert Solutions
1. Cracked & Faded Leather Seats
Issue: The leather seats had visible cracks, fading, and wear, resulting from prolonged sun exposure and general use.
Solution: We removed the damaged leather and replaced it with premium Nappa leather, restoring the seats’ luxurious texture and vibrant color. Additionally, we applied a UV-protective treatment to ensure long-lasting protection against future fading.
2. Worn-Out Door Panel Upholstery
Issue: The door panel upholstery was showing signs of wear and damage, with noticeable scuffs and discoloration.
Solution: We reupholstered the door panels with high-quality leather, matching the original finish while enhancing the overall look. To add a touch of luxury, we applied a deep conditioning treatment to restore the leather’s rich texture and sheen.
3. Discomfort from Flattened Seat Cushions
Issue: The seat cushions had flattened over time, diminishing the overall comfort and support of the seats.
Solution: We replaced the old foam with high-density memory foam, ensuring the seats provided optimal comfort and firm support for the driver and passengers.
4. Torn & Loose Stitching on the Seats
Issue: The stitching on the seats had become loose, causing unsightly gaps and weakening the structural integrity of the upholstery.
Solution: We carefully restitched the leather, using automotive-grade thread, ensuring that the seams were reinforced and durable. The result was a clean, factory-finish appearance with no visible gaps or fraying.
5. Faded Center Console Leather
Issue: The leather on the center console had faded, losing its premium look and texture.
Solution: We replaced the leather on the center console with custom-cut premium leather, bringing it back to its original color and luxury finish. Additionally, we applied a protective coating to preserve the new leather from wear and fading.
