Coming from Braniewo
Leather restoration — Braniewo
Braniewo is border-town cars — imported, often with high mileage and an interior nobody has looked after for a decade or more.
In an imported car the leather can be in a state that looks hopeless from a distance: hard, dull in some places and polished shiny in others, with greyish wear at the folds. In most cases it can be saved.
Where we start
With cleaning — on leather with years of build-up no chemistry will work and colour won't bond to the surface. Only then can you see what is wear and what is dirt.
Hard leather after years in the sun
Softening restores suppleness, so the material stops behaving like paper and cracking at the folds. This is the step that decides whether the restoration lasts or cracks along the same lines a year later.
What it costs on a car like this
Usually many times less than a set of leather seat covers or replacing the upholstery — and it looks original, because it is the original. We quote from photos.
Getting here
Braniewo is about an hour and a half from Gdańsk. For a whole interior, plan on leaving the car for a few days.

Leather cleaning
The starting point for every restoration. On dirty leather no colour or protector will hold.

Seat and rear bench restoration
The most common job: a worn driver's seat bolster and a sagging cushion. Cleaning, filling, re-colouring and protecting the whole surface so the colour matches.
More about this serviceLeather softening
Leather exposed to the sun goes stiff — fastest of all in a car. Softening brings back its suppleness before it starts to crack.
More about this serviceAn interior nobody looked after
In a car imported after a dozen or so years, the leather is usually not mechanically damaged, just neglected: dirt has got into the pores, the finish has gone dull and lost its colour, the leather has hardened and is starting to crack in the folds. That's good news — this condition can usually be reversed without replacing anything.
Where we start
With cleaning that removes built-up dirt and old, unsuccessful supermarket "conditioners". Only on clean leather can you see what is really damaged and what is just dirty. Then softening, filling the worn areas and refreshing the colour of the whole interior in one shade.
Before you buy the car
If you're only just viewing a car, send us photos of the seats in daylight. We'll tell you whether the interior needs a refresh or a more serious repair — that can be an argument when negotiating the price.
