Renovating your marine upholstery is within everyone's reach, as our technique and products are so simple to use. What is more, the cost of a renovation is generally 5 to 10 times lower than replacing the upholstery! So why hesitate?

Cleaning the skai covering of a boat

On board a boat, skai coverings are particularly exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Ambient humidity, made worse by sea water, encourages the rapid appearance of mould and other contaminants. These problems can not only spoil the look of your upholstery, but also compromise its durability and structural integrity.

Our cleaning products for boat faux leather have been specially designed to meet these unique challenges. 

With our specially formulated cleaning products, you can extend the life of your skai coverings and keep your boat looking new. Invest in quality solutions to enjoy your trips out to sea with clean, safe and attractive upholstery.

Repairing the faux leather of your boat upholstery

If your skai bench seat is damaged, scratched or cracked, you should know that it is not necessarily necessary to replace the entire covering. A much cheaper and equally effective solution is to get one of our faux leather upholstery repair products.

These products are specially designed to restore your coverings and give them a new lease of life. However, make sure the foam is not too soft and is still in good condition when you carry out your repair!

Thanks to our repair products, you can extend the life of your faux leather upholstery without incurring considerable expense. A repair done well gives your bench seats and armchairs back their original appearance, while maintaining their comfort and function.

Colouring and dyeing your marine upholstery with suitable paints

Synthetic coverings, such as skai and faux leather, suffer many attacks on board boats. Constant exposure to sun, salt and damp can quickly make your bench seats and armchairs lose their original vibrant colour. Fortunately, there are solutions to bring your marine upholstery back to life and protect it from the elements.

Our paints, specially formulated for faux leather marine upholstery, are the ideal solution for reviving the colours of your coverings while giving them lasting protection.

Thanks to our paints, specially designed for faux leather marine upholstery, you can not only restore the beauty of your bench seats and armchairs, but also protect them effectively against the elements. Give your boat a new lease of youth and enjoy your trips out to sea with bright, hard-wearing upholstery.

Lacquer for faux leather

Our high-resistance, anti-UV lacquers for your faux leather upholstery extend the life of your coverings. Please note that they can also be used on leather. Our products are enriched with an anti-UV additive to keep colours vivid for longer.
