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

Coming from Rumia
Leather restoration — Rumia
From Rumia we mainly get family cars with light upholstery — almost always with the same problem: denim dye transfer and marks on the rear seat.
Light leather looks great for the first two years and dreadful in the third if nobody has protected it. Dye from clothing transfers to the surface and gets into the coating, and on the rear seat there are marks from shoes and child seats as well.
Denim dye transfer
We remove it from the coating and then protect the surface with a protector. Without that second step it comes back within a few months and looks like a failed restoration, although the problem lies in everyday use.
The rear seat
Imprints from a child seat base and marks from shoes are usually dents and scuffs, not damage — they can be evened out without replacing the cover.
Afterwards
At collection we tell you what to clean light leather with and what to avoid. All-purpose interior cleaners do the most harm here.
What customers from Rumia bring us most often
Each of these services has its own page — with a description, the course of work and photos.
Impregnation and protection
Products that protect against UV, water and denim dye transfer — the most common cause of stains on light-coloured seats.
More about this serviceLeather refresh
A lighter option for leather that isn't damaged, just tired: cleaning, conditioning and protection without re-colouring.

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 serviceDenim dye transfer
Blue marks on light leather are dye from jeans that transfers onto the leather through friction. At first it sits on the surface and comes off with a good clean. If over the years it has worked its way into the pores and the cracks in the finish, it has to be cleaned more deeply and the colour renewed in places.
The rear bench
In family cars the rear bench has its own marks: child seats pressed into the cushion, shoe marks on the backs of the front seats, food stains. Most of this is a matter of cleaning and refreshing the colour, not repair.
So it doesn't come back
Finally we protect the light leather with an impregnating agent that makes it harder for dye to penetrate. It won't stop it forever, but it means ordinary cleaning every now and then is enough.
