Leather Repair On XJ8 Center Console
Hey all,
We recently had a pretty beat up black 1998 XJ8 here at the shop (truly a pity) and we spent a couple of days detailing it. It had a nice rip on the center console and we took pictures of the repair process. Thought you might enjoy taking a peak.
The whole process took about an hour and basically consisted of patching up the area with a paste compound and then heating until it was dry and had the same consistency as the original material. After that it was a matter of matching the paint color (thankfully we have a wonderful technician who's great at this) and spraying it to match.
Anyway, it came out great, and the customer was thrilled. Mission accomplished!
We have some exterior shots of the car as well. Hopefully I'll have time to share those with you soon as well. It's really a beautiful vehicle.
