Materials Needed
Materials Needed:
-Leather seat
-Towel
-Bucket
-Hammer
-Nail or screwdriver
-Paint or Leather Conditioner
1. Use a towel to blot away any excess water from the leather seat.
2. Take the hammer and strike it firmly against one side of the dent at a 45° angle.
3. Then use the nail or screwdriver to drive it into the dent and pull outwards until the dent pops out.
4. Repeat on the other side of the dent.
5. Finally, use paint or Leather Conditioner to fill in any cracks or holes that may have formed in the leather while popping the dent out.
The Process
Removing dents from leather car seats can be a frustrating process. Follow these steps to get the seat looking like new:
1. Start by washing the seat with a mild soap and water. Make sure to scrub all of the dried glue off the surface.
2. Apply a coat of auto body sealant to the affected area. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
3. Sand the sealant down using 400-grit sandpaper, then finish with a final polish on 600-grit sandpaper. Be sure to use a light hand when polishing as too much sanding can remove the original finish of the leather.
4. If you experience any resistance when trying to remove the dent, try utilizing a heat gun or hairdryer to soften up the adhesive before pulling it out with a wooden dowel or screwdriver handle.
