At Kartal Auto, we specialize in delivering exceptional upholstery repair for luxury vehicles, ensuring that every detail of the interior meets the highest standards of quality. Our recent upholstery restoration for an Aston Martin Rapide is a perfect example of our commitment to excellence. During the process, we identified several key issues that required expert attention. Here’s how we solved them and restored the car’s interior to its original splendor.
Key Issues Identified & Our Expert Solutions
1. Cracked & Worn Leather Seats
Issue: The leather seats were showing signs of cracking and discoloration due to sun exposure and frequent use.
Solution: We replaced the damaged leather with premium Nappa leather, which restored the soft texture and luxurious appearance of the seats. To protect the new leather from future wear, we applied a UV-resistant treatment that prevents fading and keeps the leather looking pristine.
2. Flattened Seat Cushions
Issue: Over time, the seat foam had lost its density, causing the cushions to flatten and reduce the overall comfort of the seats.
Solution: We replaced the old foam with high-density memory foam to provide superior comfort and support. The new foam ensured that the seats retained their shape and comfort, offering an enhanced driving experience.
3. Loose & Torn Stitching
Issue: The stitching on the seats had started to come undone in several places, leading to visible gaps and a compromised finish.
Solution: Our team restitched the leather using automotive-grade thread, ensuring that the seams were strong and uniform, providing both durability and a smooth aesthetic.
4. Scratches and Scuffs on Seat Panels
Issue: The seat panels had visible scratches and scuff marks, diminishing the interior’s luxury feel.
Solution: We carefully performed a deep cleaning of the leather, removing all scuff marks and stains. We then applied a color restoration treatment to ensure the leather looked as vibrant as the day it was first installed.
5. Stains on the Upholstery
Issue: The upholstery had accumulated stains, especially on the armrests and seating areas, affecting the overall look of the interior.
Solution: We used specialized leather cleaning solutions to gently remove the stains without damaging the fabric. After cleaning, we treated the leather with a protective conditioner to ensure the upholstery remained stain-resistant moving forward.
