After working on the mechanical items of my BJ8 I turned my attention to the
upholstery. It is in excellent condition with no tears or scratches, only a
little tired, especially the dashboard. As I have a bottle of angelus
leather dye in Jet black for real leather, I put a layer on the dashboard,
and it soaked in quite nicely. After drying over night with a soft terry
cloth clean rag I hand rubbed and buffed the surface to a nice shine. Now
if it was real leather, a further layer of black carnauba shoe polish would
be applied. So, I used Esquire rubbing it in to the surface as I would for
leather shoes, let dry and rubbed the surface to a nice shine.
At the same time, I removed the arm rest from the right-hand door because
the Naugahyde had peeled off the frame. After cleaning off all the hot glue
residue and using my handy Craftsman hot glue gun with bonding glue and
large binder paper clips to hold the fabric in place after applying the glue
the repair was ready for a polishing. However, I thought I would look up
how to restore Naugahyde and was advised to use Mequiar's natural shine
protectant which I will apply to the dashboard also when it comes from
Amazon.
Meanwhile, what do you members of this group recommend for the treating the
leatherette/Naugahyde on our Healey's for cleaning and restoration.
