Leather refresh
A lighter option for leather that isn't damaged, just tired: cleaning, conditioning and protection without re-colouring.
More about this serviceFrom Wejherowo we get more second-hand cars than anything else — the kind where the leather hasn't seen any care for a decade or more.
A high-mileage interior can look like a lost cause: the leather hard, dull in some places and polished shiny in others, with greyish wear at the folds. In most cases it can be saved, and it works out many times cheaper than replacing the upholstery.
On leather with years of build-up no chemistry will work and colour won't bond to the surface. Only after cleaning can you see what is wear and what is dirt — and only then is the quote an honest one.
Leather hardened by years in the sun cracks at the folds. Softening restores suppleness and decides whether the restoration lasts or cracks along the same lines a year later.
It looks original, because it is the original — not a seat cover and not a replaced covering.
Each of these services has its own page — with a description, the course of work and photos.

More about this serviceThe starting point for every restoration. On dirty leather no colour or protector will hold.
More about this serviceLeather exposed to the sun goes stiff — fastest of all in a car. Softening brings back its suppleness before it starts to crack.
More about this serviceHoles, worn-through areas and tears filled with compound, with the surrounding leather grain matched.
More about this serviceIn a used car the interior is rarely mechanically damaged. More often it is simply neglected: dirt in the pores of the leather, a dull finish, hardened and cracked folds on the seats. It's a condition that can largely be reversed.
Cleaning first — only on clean leather can you see what is damaged and what is just dirty. Then softening, so the leather stops cracking when it flexes. Only at the end do we fill the damage and refresh the colour. Paint applied to dirty, hard leather comes away after a few weeks.
When refreshing an interior, the price depends on how much actual damage there is and how much is just dirt. That's why we quote from photos — of the whole interior and close-ups.
The workshop is in Gdańsk, ul. Litewska 12 — Wejherowo is about 39 km away in a straight line.
Send a photo of the whole thing and a close-up of the damage, or just give us a call. From that we tell you whether it can be saved.
We give you the scope of work and the price. If restoration isn't worth it, we'll say so plainly — it happens, and it's better to hear it before than after.
Cleaning, damage repair, re-colouring, protection. On larger jobs we send you progress photos.
We tell you what to care for the leather with and what damages it fastest. That usually decides whether the result lasts for years.
The quickest way is this: a photo of the whole item, a close-up of the damage and a note on what the item or part is. On that basis we'll tell you whether it can be saved and what it will cost.
