Smart Repair Courses For Details, Furniture Companies & Cleaning Companies
The 2 day smart course is for vehicle detailers looking to offer specialist detailer cleaning and repairs to leather interiors.
We go through the different types of leather sin vehicles today and what isn’t leather and what some car manufacturers call leather that is in fact fake and how to handle this.
Car manufacturers today are using all sorts of names for leather when it isn’t leather at all, simply put its vinyl, you only have to look at the classic minis they used a product called Vynide, again this is vinyl, it carefully used part of the names vinyl and hide to make it sound like leather trim.
We look into Artico that Mercedes call man made leather and SensaTec what BMW call it, all of these items are just vinyl.
Even names like naugahyde have been used for the automotive industry, basically its was a knit fabric backing material covered with polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
We look at the different methods for restoration, cleaning and care of these materials, we also look at what some believe to be suede when it is in fact Alcantara.
