i have full type r interior - black suede - from japan... from being in japan they lost colour and now the top of the back seats have discoloured into a navy blue/ purple colour..
i dont want to re-wrap them... does anyone know how to restore the colour..maybe a spray or something for suede...but doesnt get rid of the delicate feel????
help plz

 

Just get dark tints to protect them from further fading and live with it. Any dye you use will potentially stain your clothing.

 

its at the top of the seat tho..i dont care about ppls clothes...who goes in the back seats??
but if i use a fabric spray will it ruin the feel of the suede???

 

20% tints all around did the job for me.

So what are you trying to say Opie?

I need it it in Lamens terms.

 

k..DOES ANYONE KNOW.....CUZ MY SEATS ARE BLUE....

 

if your clothes fade, is there anything you can do to reveal the original color again? dont think so.

20% tints will help protect the seats from the sun, which is what causes the seats to fade.

&lt;&lt;&lt;seats are black as night

You can't really do anything about it. My caR sat outside for 7 yrs. The first 4 of which were with out tints while the OG owner had it. I tinted my windows and the fading stopped. My seats were still bluish but I didn't care. I was just happy that I had an ITR.

 

(tangent/Have you guys ever heard that we can't catch a sunburn through transparent auto windows? It sort of makes sense.)

Oh yeah, blue seats=SOL ( &lt;I wish I was wrong on this one)

 

yeah just call me if you need your winders tinted... going to tint mine when i put the rest of my interior in

 

Basically, they are saying that you cant fix them. Either buy some that are not faded, recover them, leave them and tint windows so they dont fade further, or take them out and go racer style. Thats about all you can do.

&lt;------Back seats also has the fade.

 

I just went out and looked and my back seats are blue.

Faded back seats suck. Think I'll spray paint them PY???

Arrgghhhh

 

put on 5% tint and the car will be so dark inside that nobody will notice that they are faded

 

Sadly, most itr seats out there on the used market are faded to blue.

 

....buy new seats? lol

 

I used shoe polish on the alcantara on the top of my rear seats. It kept the material's softness that your talking about. I tested before hand and did it very carefully.
I'm still considering what to do with the fabric center section.

if no one goes in the back seats, why would you care about the feel of the suede?

 

You could take the seats out and try to dye them black again.
Would probably make the dre stiching black as well, but ...

Sounds like you either need to step and deal with the cost of new/used ones, or deal with the fading. Check the Marketplace and the sticky on the top of this forum.

PM user Reid and ask him while ppl are going to smile and nod.

LOL! I believe the exact quote is.. "If you want people to smile and nod, this is not the website for you." welcome to Honda-Tech Kristina

And about the seats, I don't think you can save them. Dave B is right, live with them or buy new

 

ohhh so this reid person is trying to say that i want ppl to smile and nod??
