Renovation of a 3-seater sofa and 2 armchairs

JeanPaul ·

I renovated my leather sofa/armchair set, which showed many signs of "fatigue": cracks, sebum stains, tarnished colours,... To do this, I used the "SOFOLK" renovation kit and the result is absolutely up to my expectations. The process for implementing the various products established by the supplier is very clear and easy to follow. It is important to respect it and take the necessary time. The colour of the paint was in accordance with the sample provided, and the quality of the sample is such that its application is very easy, and the rendering is perfect. I can only recommend the "SOFOLK" products to renovate the leather.

Installation of the new shade

Cyrille59 ·

hello I received the new shade and I thank you for sending it to me. after starting all over again the result is still not conclusive I did a test on a piece of wood of the 2 shades next to each other they look identical (see photo) and I would even say that the result on the wood is closer to my original shade than when I apply the shade on the leather (2 shades and 2 coats of varnish). I do not understand why this result.

My testimonial on your SKAI auto renovation products

As de Coeur ·

Hello,
I share with you my stupefaction on the result, it is incredible my interior is like new.
The repairs are fine, the only problem I had to learn how to sand the filler, after tests it was perfect.
I also noticed that you have to be meticulous on the TÂÂ (not below 18Âc otherwise the dye reaction)
My children were nailed by the result and brought in their friends who had seen her before, especially since they had told me to have everything refurbished (including door fittings, especially since they were destroyed).
On the blog I'm preparing, I'll be sure to advertise it to you.
I hope to receive the colour chart to start further repairs.
A word of advice please. I still have some coating, how can I best preserve it?
Please accept my sincerest greetings

Renovation of cobra leather BMW M3 E36

Manu ·

Hello everyone, A little word to share my sofolk experience, for my part, I am completely satisfied with the result. If you have a little patience, thoroughness and a lot of free time in front of you, don't hesitate! Start renovating your leather. The sofolk range will allow you to give a second youth to your interior, the products are of very good quality and easy to use. Only one small downside, the quantity, the kit did not allow me to make my complete interior..... two other orders were necessary, within very acceptable delivery times... I let you judge from the pictures....

Renovation of Mercedes CLK seats

Choux972 ·

Satisfied with the renovation products that transformed the seats that needed it most (stains, wear, 15 years.....)The finish is perfect, uniform, with 3 coats of paint and 3 of varnish.only shadow on the board, the color provided (005) is lighter than the corresponding color of the color chart. As I didn't repaint the backrest (complicated to dismantle and paint with armrest and accessories), you can see the difference, but it doesn't swear too much. The inside of the car has taken a serious turn for the better.

Renovation on a sofa that is more than twenty years old

Jean-Claude ·

Hello

I did a renovation on a sofa over twenty years old, very damaged by time and cat scratches. At first I wanted to throw away this leather sofa bed, but I use it now for a guest room.

The result is very impressive. Cracks, scratches, stains have disappeared. This gives back an almost new result to the sofa. In the end, the products used give back to the leather its real touch. Visually, we also find the leather aspect.

I highly recommend the use of these products for renovation.

Thanks to the telephone reception for these advices and his implication in finding me the right quantities of the necessary products and his help for the choice of the color. Professional and friendly welcome

Sincerely

Renovation of 2 buffalo leather sofas

Change of colour of leather sofa

DELPHINE ·

I am delighted with the result!

I discovered your site by searching on the internet how to change the color of a leather sofa (from a salmon color I switched to chocolate brown). I find your site really well done: the videos are very practical and very well explained. I had no trouble following your advice, your products are really very easy to use for a stunning result. I just put on a little bemol, the silky varnish should exist in matt or satin because it gives a really shiny finish that I liked at first but I got used to it very quickly.

Anyway, congratulations!

Superb rendering

Renovation of my club chairs

Mme NATHALIE ·

Good morning, sir.
I already wanted to thank you for your advice on renovating my club chairs. I am very satisfied with the result. My entourage was very surprised....
I wanted to call once again on your lights, concerning the change of colour of an armchair, this time contemporary. I am attaching the photos. It has superficial scratches and is quite colourless. I would have liked to dye it in anthracite grey and wanted to know if I could send you a colour sample again.
Thanking you in advance, very cordially

Good product, too bad the amount of silky varnish is too low, I had to dilute it to finish the back of the seats! a few millilitres more would have been enough for a better grade!

Review by Mr Jacques

1’s note: time between payment and delivery is a little long.

2nd note: the 125cl varnish bottle contains only half of it;!!!!! is this normal? it is not mentioned that you send only a sample .

 Sofolk's response

 Your order of 27/08 left on 02/09  so within the deadlines .

recolouring black ( 250 ml ordered;) the other, vernis, a little more than half of it is 150 ml ( 100 ml purchased), so it was not a sample. You bought these products on sale with a discount of almost 30%, which is why we did not deliver 250 ml of varnish per 100 ml ordered.  The 100 ml cans were delivered late (August).

Review by Mr Elias

Hello,

I would like to testify to the efficiency and simplicity of use of the products, in fact I have been working on the renovation of my front seats from the car that had been damaged by time, many cracks and collapses. I applied the repair paste in the manner of a coachbuilder then sanded it down to a fine age = surprising result. I have achieved 90% of the ageing of the leather. After recolouring the result is magnificent. I advise all of them. Thanks to the technical team for their advice and reactions.

I used Sofolk products to renovate four leather chairs and was surprised by the simplicity of implementation and the quality of the result obtained. The products were delivered within the announced deadlines. I found my chairs as they were when they were acquired. I strongly recommend these products to renovate and give a second youth to the leather seat and armchairs.

Hello,
 
I have received my order in due course and thank you for the additional products you have attached.
 
I am here today to share with you my satisfaction after using your products: I was able to renovate my two sofas that are over 30 years old but are of excellent quality. I was able to repair all the cuts and cracks and re-dye them perfectly thanks to the dye you composed. I have passed some edible oil but I wait until it is well impregnated before applying the silky varnish.
 
To allow you to see the result, I attach two photos of   my sofas.
I would certainly recommend your products to others who may need them.  
Well coridally
