At Kartal Auto, we are committed to providing premium seat repairs and restorations for luxury cars, and our recent work on an Aston Martin Rapide was a perfect example of our expertise. During the restoration, we identified several issues that required attention to ensure the seats returned to their pristine condition. Here’s a breakdown of the issues we encountered and how we resolved them to restore both comfort and elegance to the interior.
Key Issues Identified & Our Expert Solutions
1. Cracked and Worn Leather Upholstery
Issue: The leather upholstery on the seats had developed cracks and signs of aging, reducing the overall luxury appearance and comfort of the seats.
Solution: We carefully removed the damaged leather and replaced it with premium Nappa leather, known for its smooth texture and durability. To ensure the leather remains in top condition, we applied a protective coating that helps prevent future cracks and damage from UV exposure.
2. Flattened Seat Cushions
Issue: The seat foam had compressed over time, leading to a lack of cushioning and decreased comfort during driving.
Solution: We replaced the old foam with high-density memory foam, providing optimal support and comfort. The new foam allowed the seats to maintain their shape while improving long-term driving comfort.
3. Loose & Torn Stitching
Issue: Several areas of the seat stitching were coming undone, resulting in visible gaps and weakened seams.
Solution: We restitched the seats using automotive-grade, high-strength thread, ensuring that all seams were secure and uniform. This restoration reinforced the structure of the seats and restored their refined look.
4. Sagging Seat Panels
Issue: The side panels of the seats had sagged, creating an uneven, unpolished appearance.
Solution: We carefully removed the panels and reupholstered them with high-quality leather, ensuring they were firmly secured and perfectly aligned with the rest of the seat. This not only improved the seats’ appearance but also restored their supportive structure.
5. Stains and Scuffs on the Seat Surface
Issue: The seats had accumulated stains and scuff marks, affecting the interior’s luxury aesthetic.
Solution: We performed a deep leather cleaning to remove stains and scuff marks without damaging the material. Afterward, we applied a conditioner to restore the leather’s rich color and texture, ensuring that the seats looked immaculate and protected for future use.
