No Job Is Too Big Or Small when Leather Requires Cleaning

London, UK – When a customer needed repairs to be done to the interior of his classic 1959 Maserati Vignale 3500 GT Spyder, Colourlock was there to not only help but to record the difference in before and after all along the way. In order to educate consumers about the care of leather, Colourlock (www.colourlock.com) has just published a new blog post entitled 'Classic Car Leather Restoration - 1959 Maserati Vignale 3500 GT Spyde'.

The article discusses how ‘the Maserati 3500 GT was first produced in 1957 like the one featured on the British movie Cash On Demand, but it wasn’t until 1959 that Carrozzeria Vignale made the Spyder (convertible) version and how this particular one showed the interiors had been completely neglected ’.

The article states that ‘the leather seats were dry, hard and with a lot of cracks which were spread all over the seats due to the extensive use for many years. The colour had faded and even a gentle wipe with some of our leather cleaner was removing colour away’.

“The challenge,” stated a Colourlock spokesperson, “was to keep the old vintage look but to stabilise the leather at the same time and keep its original features.” 

The article then relates how Colourlock took ‘out all the seats and dismantled a lot of the interior bits like the side panels from the doors. The leather was cleaned very gently using one of our leather brushes and Colourlock Mild Leather Cleaner. It was then treated with a mixture of Licker oil and warm water and left to cure for an entire week’.

The stunning results are recorded with further cleaning and repair elaborations on the web article.  Colourlock UK and Ireland provides trusted professional leather cleaning services for most leather items, especially furniture and automobile fittings. The company uses proprietary cleaning solutions that are gentle to leather but tough on stains.
