Jules,

Congrats on the car. Looks great

You mentioned heating out creases in the leather. Would you mind elaborating on the process here please, I'd be keen to do the same?

Thanks in advance.

Hi mate and thanks.
With the creases and dimples in the leather, firstly give them a good clean and once dry get a hair dryer and warm up the leather.
It will not do any damage and with a rung out cloth with hot water massage the areas.
You can keep heating it and massaging, if there are dimples from say a baby seat you can also like pinch the dimples out while the
leather is warm.
I hope this all makes sense lol, its harder to explain than when just doing it, ive done this to loads of cars and you'd be surprised
what can be achieved.
Pro leather trimmers will also use heatguns to tighten the leather but they are more skilled so a hairdryer is way safer and more idiot
proof :lol:

No i'm hoping to collect it Tuesday night as they have been really busy, Still deciding if I should tint the windows too.
While its been there we also wrapped the new splitter gloss black to match the grill surround and did the wiper delete.
