Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit

Rubbing Alcohol

Cotton Swab or Cotton Pad

Plastic wrap (for adding texture)

Scissors (if necessary)

Step 1

Preparing the Area

Prepare the damaged area by carefully trimming any excess threads, jagged bits, or burn marks on your leather car armrest. If necessary, cut off any charred material.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the burn mark on your leather car armrest with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
Make sure to test it on a hidden area first. If alcohol is harsh for your material, you may use warm, soapy water or your usual leather or vinyl cleaner.

Step 3

Using the Backing Fabric

For burns larger than 1/4 of an inch, cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, slightly larger than the damaged area. Insert it with the spatula provided in the kit.

Step 4

Mixing the Repair Compound

If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided.

Step 5

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the burn mark on your leather car armrest.
Start by applying it under and along the edges and work from the outside toward the center.
Use the spatula for larger applications and the brush for surface applications and detail touch-ups.

Step 6

Drying and Additional Layers

Allow several hours for the repair compound to dry until it is no longer sticky to the touch on your leather car armrest.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 7

Adding Texture

Once the repair compound is semi-dry, tear off a slightly larger piece of plastic wrap.
Press it against the semi-dry final layer of the repair compound on your leather car armrest.
When you lift your hand off, the area will be slightly textured.
Repeat this process until you've achieved the desired texture. Adding texture will help the repaired section to blend with the rest of the armrest.

Step 8

Finishing Touches

After the repair compound has dried, use a cotton pad or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to buff out the edges of the repair on your leather car armrest.

Step 9

Maintenance

Wipe your car armrest down with a damp cloth or leather cleaner every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
Avoid exposing it to direct heat or flames in the future to prevent burn marks or other damage from reoccurring.
Use a leather conditioner to nourish the leather and restore its natural shine.
Regularly inspect your car for any issues, if you notice any problems, address them right away to prevent them from getting worse.

It is easy to use.

This product worked quite well. I purchased the color black which came with two tubes of black and one of white. My car interior is a light gray so I started with the white and added black until the color matched. The hole in my center console, the armrest potion, was ragged and about an inch long and half inch wide. I followed the instructions and it worked well. I didn't get it completely smooth but probably could have. It seems to be durable and I'm happy with it. It's nice not to have to rest my arm on a ragged hole on a vinyl console.
