Why Choose iLike Auto Detailing for Leather Repairs?

When it comes to maintaining the pristine condition of your VW Golf R, the steering wheel is one of the most visible and frequently used components. Over time, even the highest-quality leather can show signs of wear, including fading, cracking, and general deterioration. At iLike Auto Detailing, we understand the importance of both aesthetics and functionality. That’s why we use only the best products and techniques, ensuring that your steering wheel is restored to a factory-fresh condition. With Geist Leathercare products, we deliver results that not only look great but also last.

Our Leather Steering wheel restoration Process

Step 1: Comprehensive Cleaning and Degreasing

Every leather repair at iLike Auto Detailing begins with a thorough cleaning of the surface. We use Geist Leathercare’s Leather Cleaner to remove all traces of dirt, grime, and oils. This step is essential for preparing the leather for the repair process, ensuring that the products we apply adhere correctly and deliver the best possible results.

Step 2: Precision Sanding

Once cleaned, the leather is carefully sanded to smooth out any imperfections. We use fine-grit sandpaper to gently work on areas that are cracked or worn, creating a uniform surface. This step is crucial for ensuring that the filler applied in the next stage bonds effectively with the leather.

Step 3: Expert Application of Leather Filler

Our technicians then apply Geist Leathercare’s Leather Filler to any damaged areas. This high-quality filler blends seamlessly with the leather, filling in cracks and ensuring a smooth, even finish. After applying the filler, we allow it to dry thoroughly before moving on to further refinement.

Step 4: Chemical and Dry Sanding for a Perfect Finish

To achieve a factory-quality finish, we follow up with both chemical and dry sanding. This dual-sanding process refines the filler application, making sure that the repaired areas are as smooth as the rest of the steering wheel. Our technicians use Geist Leathercare’s Chemical Sanding Agent, followed by dry sanding, to perfect the texture and prepare the surface for painting.

Step 5: Color Matching and Paint Application

Moreover, achieving an OEM finish means getting the color just right. At iLike Auto Detailing, we meticulously match the original color of your VW Golf R steering wheel using Geist Leathercare’s extensive range of leather dyes. The dye is applied in thin, even layers, building up the color gradually to ensure it perfectly matches the rest of the steering wheel.

Step 6: Protective Top Coat

Lastly, the final step in our process is the application of a protective top coat. We offer a combination of gloss and matte finishes to replicate the original look of your steering wheel. Geist Leathercare’s Top Coat not only enhances the appearance of the leather but also provides a durable layer of protection, ensuring your steering wheel stays looking great for years to come.
