Just a thought to get the faded seating looking good for the start of the season.
Seems a bit drastic but looks like it works!….and a lot cheaper.

Seen this video doing the rounds and not convinced it will do much good for the seats in the long run.

This is absolute bollocks.

The UV light has caused the seat to fade - basically, drying the plastic out. Modern stadium seats have UV protection to try and keep them fresh looking as long as possible.

The heat sort of remoistens the surface. Not only will it start looking drippy if it rains too soon after treatment, it will in a period of weeks, dry out again - and look even worse. Try again - 2-3 more times and then you've killed the seat. You're basically making the plastic structure worse to make the skin look temporarily 'better.'

Don't do it.
