HOW TO: Repair cracked vinyl on your cars interior

In todays video, we show the process on how we repair severe damage on the center console of a VW Golf. This can be a common issue as this spot and other get constant abuse from a drivers elbow.

This one not only wore, but also cracked open and the edges of the damage were peeling up. We walk you through the process and show what kind of results we can get when repairing damaged leather and vinyl.

I’m been doing these repairs for 14 years, you need to start with a repair compound that you can press a pattern into on the initial pass instead of a sandable fill compound. Will save a lot of time and will keep you from having to use the sem texture coating. Also that sem texture will breakdown and become sticky after constant contact from the oils in skin. It’s meant for bumpers. Will also save the stitching.

Little trick. Detail is everything, take the time to protect the stitching. Don't overspray the stitching.

Very Helpful! Thank you so much. I never new there was any such thing as spray on texture!😂

Do people not look in the descriptions part of the videos anymore. Come on people, we have been using YouTube for several years now. This is a common place to find the info we need. This keeps the videos from being so lengthy.

Nice work man! 👍

On another note, I couldn’t get any of your products links to work. The ssl security certificate on the website that has the links appears to be out of date so none of my browsers will let m view your links. You might want to check on that when you get a chance.

All your links are giving warnings that the website may be stealing our personal information. I think you need to fix this or explain what this is meeting, I don’t know how we should trust buying products when something like this pops up.
