Hello Everyone hope you had a great weekend :) Here is your Sweet Sunday review. This kit will do all your small repairs needed around your home and garage. Make sure you watch the entire video as we have info on up can coming videos :)
Hey Mike. I have patched a hole in my tonneau cover a couple times now with this style kit. Keeps peeling away from edges! Any tips???
Nice kit.
Yes we have found that the edges will appeal if the area is not cleaned very very well with 99% rubbing alcohol the other reason it will happen is that there was not enough heat to get the edges to adhere when doing this we tend to have our focus on heating the very center and forget about the outer edges hope this helps my friend thanks Mike
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks Mike👍
CASPER 12345 if you follow this video and do the same thing it will work great on a cig burn. thanks mike
I was down in the dumps all weekend but this fixed my tears:)Thank you Bro.
Love all the info on leather seat repair you have provided! Between the two previous videos and this one, I am dying for Spring to come so I can try it all out on my project Yukon XL.
Thank you for always presenting your topics in a simple and easy manner to understand. I love your "You can do this" attitude. Merry Christmas Hammer.
I just want to say thank you guys so much for this videos, they're extremely helpful. Great stuff well explain.
Very easy, yet undetectable repair. Very nicely done.
Mighty cool work. It sure did the trick for that small tear / scratch. Good Job, Mike.
Thanks for this awesome repair video, good for my recliner repairs when needed!
What do you mean "not bad!"!! That was Sweeeeeet!! Awesome result, Mike! Thank you buddy.
Always wondered if those kits worked, now I know. Awesome job
Hey that came out perfect , I'm impressed great job !
This may sound crazy but on my black vinyl seat I used rustoleum rubber coating “flex seal type” and it surprisingly work really well. It took several coats.
Unbelievable DYI repair. I have Dobermans who like to party when I am not home. Thank you so much Sir.
Wow! That is pretty sweet right there. Thanks for sharing!!
I have been waiting for this! Got a hole in my couch while moving a month ago. My wife asked me how do we fix it? I said let me check with Sweet Project Cars on KZhead and he will show me how to fix it. There ya go. Love your channel and your content. Thank you very much for the information you provide to your viewers on your channel.
Yokeman Yokey thank you very much mike
Looks amazing ( before and after ) like new!
Saaweeeet little kit. Thanks so much for sharing.
Awesome- my '89 GM has a small dashboard crack, and I'll be waiting for your SPC How-To Repair video.
Nice job done, I do similar work on sofas. Keep up the good work
This video is fantastic! Spot on. Great description of what you are doing. I remember the kids that used to sell on television in the '70s to fix your couch. This is a much better description and a much better kit. Thank you for making such an awesome video. Now I can repair my trans am seat that has a miniscule rip. Such as the one you repaired. Thanks very much! Subscribed!
Glad we could help, Mezzy! We truly appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Amazing... I knew the gloves would eventually come off... lol. Thanks for the kit info.
Excellent! I just got same kit! Thanks!
You did an amazing job on that repair. I am going to look for your dash repair video. I bought a 79 Monte Carlo and it needs a good bit of repair work. I was about to buy all new interior. Looks like I may be able to salvage some now.👍🏻
Glad it helped! Thanks for sharing, we appreciate it very much! Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Sometimes it looks like magic, thanks for sharing my frriend
I have a few cracks in my vinyl dash in my Benz that drive me up the wall. I literally stare at them every time I get in the car. The Florida sun is brutal on cars ! One guy gave me a 2k quote to reupholster the dash pad! Anyway, now that you've done this technique , I'm definitely going to fix mine myself. I'm beyond grateful for your vids dude, much luv from jacksonville fl !
Glad we can help in sunny and warm Jacksonville
Once again THANK YOU OH WIZARD OF CARS
Gotta say, you do first class work! That small repair looks terrific! I'm going to order that kit for a couple of small blemishes on my own car. Great advice and kit review, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience ! 10 +++ Sweeeeeets for you!

Excellent just what i need
Neat little kit! Love the little iron lol I'm just glad I don't have to do the ironing with it 😂
Thank goodness. I need to go pick up this kit. I was dropping off a bulky piece of furniture to goodwill today and accidentally ripped a bit of my car door's vinyl either when I was putting it in or out of the car >.< Ugh. Luckily the spots look small enough for this kit to disguise
You got this! Thanks for sharing and watching. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
This turned out beautifully. I just bought the same kit for my almost brand new coat that was unfortunately left out around a miserable ass cat.
Yikes... glad to hear you are working on your problem :( Thank you for watching. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Awesome!!! I just found a permatex vinyl repair kit about to go into the dumpster hopefully the colors are all good? I love the video!!! I am about to start filming some youtube videos I have a bunch items about to fix up if I don't make a profit hopefully I break even and it helps someone on youtube.
Good Job thank you
Thank you very much Armando, it's our pleasure. We appreciate the view and comment, have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Nice. I’ll try this.
Thank you very much, you will love the results! Have a great day, thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Do you have to put the patch on? Can you just dry it with a hairdryer?
Another cool tip, Mike! That looks lik a repair kit worth having. Thanks for the demonstration. Would a hair dryer work as well as the heat gun? I do have one suggestion for you, Mike. You were really getting the jitters while mixing up that paint. Seriously, my friend, you need to cut back on all the coffee you've been drinking. :-)
Ben you can try a hair dryer and see if it gets hot enough it needs to be around 200F LOL on the coffee, speeding up the process with the video editor makes it look crazy sometimes :) thanks for sharing mike
Great video, do you have a recommended way to do a flat black leather patch. I have a small tear in the leather of the gear shifter of my car, the black is a flat, no shine.
Yes you will do it the same way only you will put patch material underneath the tear and use the mending glue to seal it up it can be a bit difficult sometimes
I saw your note that you don't get notifications on postings from old shows. The car wash put some bad scratches in my windshield on Saturday. I watched your video (who else would I turn to?) on using pumice and rubbing compound to remove scratches. I don't have a rotary DeWalt, only a DA polisher. I can get all the supplies you listed, but can I get it to work with my DA? It's expensive to buy a rotary just for my windshield. Keep em coming my friend. Merry Christmas.
Hello Robert have you talked to the car wash about the damage they did? They may Pay to have a new windshield installed. Also you can try your DA and see how it works for you you can rent a single action if you need to.
Great video
Thanks!
Not bad at all. Thank you.
Glad you liked it Pablo! Thank you for the view and comment, it's appreciated, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
This is amazing. Thank you so much. I have differrent items for repair but I dont have the clothes pieces there. Do you know where I can get them? Thank you!
any piece of cloth will work even from an old t-shirt
@@SweetProjectCars wow, thank you!
Great videos! JULIO! HA HA!
Nice kit and demo as always. I don't know if you take requests but... my rim center caps keep coming off. The tabs are all there but time has taken its toll. Any ideas?
Chad B please send us some pics so we can better analyze send to SWEETPROJECTCARS@GMAIL.COM thanks mike
Hi Mike Wondering the name of the kit that you used on this project and where can you buy it? Thanks
We use this one now Corie amzn.to/3iV1ueI they discontinued the one we used in the making of this video, but found this one works better. Thanks for watching and asking, have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
what about doing this near seams or on edges or corners of the seat?
Give it a shot, we've had success on all areas doing this process. You have all to gain my friend. Thanks for the view, have a great day. mad Mike
What is the brand name of the repair kit you demonstrated so nicely
Well Saul, they discontinued the one we used here, but we use this one now amzn.to/3iV1ueI and it actually works better. Thank you for watching and just a reminder, all of the products/tools we use in our videos can always be found in the ...MORE of the videos description, see here 3c5.com/4u6dj if you can't find it let us know and we will help you. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@SweetProjectCars is it possible to repair a vinyl top on an older car using one of these kits?
See these videos on that subject Dayton kzhead.info/sun/hq2mf8yqf4N8dH0/bejne.html & kzhead.info/sun/qMOCfseaa4SXY4U/bejne.html Thanks for watching and asking, hope these help. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@SweetProjectCars thank you for replying. Those videos give me some ideas. The car I am working on is a 1968 Oldsmobile Toronado with a vinyl top. Most of the damage is similar to the seat repair damage I watched in your videos. No vinyl repair guy around here will touch it. Replacement of the top, by a professional, is quoted at a minimum of $1500.00...I think trying a repair is worth the try. All the damage is centered on top in an appropriate 3 Sq foot area. I think if I vinyl repair the damaged area and dye the entire top, it will turn out OK. Worth a shot, anyway. I live in central Illinois, wish your shop was closer, lol. BTW, I really enjoy your videos.
Good to see that the wife has taught you to do the ironing.......hahahaha Wow, that puppy disapeared! Amazing. BTW the other thing a DIYer needs is a big shop with lot of storage!
Yeah she was not impressed when she came out to the shop and found it sitting on a dirty work bench LOL
Oh and I just read your part about lots of storage I am with you on that we throw nothing away because we never know we may need it and when we do throw something away we wish we wouldn’t have because then we needed it so you need a boat load of storage your exactly correct my friend
Just bought the kit I hope it works
Just take your time and follow the video Don. Thanks for watching, have a great day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Mike, great videos!!! Any advice on how to deal with extremely slick car seats? 2005 Audi A6 leather seats are in very good shape except they are getting more and more slippery. Same for my steering wheel. I've cleaned and conditioned with no real difference.
Jim karafa what we do is run some 3000 grit paper over them helps alot
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Someone also recommended I try a magic eraser.@@SweetProjectCars
Jim karafa we have tried that and it has not worked for us my friend
I made a small tear on my 64' Dodge's bench seat, got so pissed off that I ruined an original seat. Thanks for the video, going to use this as reference.
Glad we could help, sorry about your seat :( This will work, just follow the process explicitly. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks again, Mike. looking forward to using this repair method.
Hey mike, where can i find more of the backing cloth? I have like 3 parts where the seat is torn nd i need more backing cloth there is some patches that u just stick on the holes but will they have the same results? If u can help where i can get the backing cloth i would appreciate it i got the 3m kit to repair hole but i need more to cover the other 2. Thanks Mike
This is what we use amzn.to/3p5792M Thanks for asking Mike! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars thanks as always.
Hi Mike, thank you so much for the helpful video! I've bought the kit, and mixed the color repair compound. I'd like to use the same mix but it's too dry. How can I make it softer again? Thank you in advance!
do you mean the colors are too dry?
@@SweetProjectCars Yes, sorry I didn't make it clear :)
I mean I've already made a specific mixture of colors and I need to use that shade again but it has gotten too stiff to use it.
Any suggestions for when the damage is at the seam? I have an office chair where the seam came apart (approx 3 inches) dead center on the seat.
Other than taking the cover off and repairing on the back of the seam your only alternative is to replace with new. Thanks for asking, hope this helps. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Can you tell me we’re I can buy that kit please, I have a vinyl black door panel I would like to repair, great video, thank you
here it is amzn.to/2QBWpva
I'm trying to use one of those kits on a large area, it's pretty much hell. I'll prob have to redo w silicone, bonding & spray paint
Here's a couple videos on it kzhead.info/sun/iZxxZ8ebpYRoiIU/bejne.html & kzhead.info/sun/mq1pZMmwjoehfoE/bejne.html and if this doesn't work for you, you are probably going to have to buy a new seat cover my friend. Thanks for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day and all the best on your project. mad Mike
This would definitely be good for my Torino. Her interior is a bit shabby after sitting out too long.
I'm going to try to match Fiat 500e white interior, which is almost cream color. I think I'll follow the tan instructions but use a toothpick for the brown and yellow.
Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great week and all the best on your project. mad Mike
Would this work on a dash in the car? I am unsure the material my dash is made of, but feels like leather or vinyl. It is soft and textured. Thanks!
give it a try and see if you like the results
Would this work for the top part of the door panel in my jeep ?
Yes it will Kevin. Thanks for watching and asking, we truly appreciate it. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hello, nice video! Can you tell please the name of the product that you are using? Thanks
You can find all the tools and products my friend in the show more of the video description they are all listed there if you cannot find this area let us know we will help you out
In the first part of the video using the heat gun how long ? thanks again another Oscar wining video
SuperJoes70 about 3 minutes to dry the white glue. is this what you were referring to my friend ?....mike
@Sweet Project Cars, I have a request for that upcoming video on fixing broken dashboards. I have an old 05 caravan that is suffering from shrinkage!.....lol. I know where your mind went on that one, don't lie!....lol. But in all seriousness, Due to the constant sun beating our dashboards take through the windshields of our cars, the dashboard around the top of my air vents in the center of the dash(3 air vents) has shrank and pulled away from the vents. The pleather, foam, all of it has shrunk and pulled upwards from the vent housing so it "looks" like it has the wrong dash parts installed but it doesn't. I wish I could post a pic so you can see exactly what I'm talking about but hopefully you know exactly what I'm dealing with. Is there a way to fix this? Can you find a dash like this and add a fix for it to your upcoming vid? Thanks bunches if you can! And as always, you guys rock!
MrCougar214 lol on your pun and you can send pics to us at sweetprojectcars@gmail.com thanks mike
@@SweetProjectCars Cool. I'll grab that pic and send it your way.
Love the video but it appears the kit is no longer available. Can you recommend a replacement? Thanks!
We are using this one now amzn.to/3iV1ueI they discontinued the one we used here, this new option is even better Jacki. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hello. How can I remove a poorly applied vinyl patch that was done using the 3M kit?
You are probably going to have to use some heat, we suggest using this amzn.to/2I8XFRh You have to be very careful and slow warming it up the just use these amzn.to/3XEE8vC to pull the patch off. Remember, slowly warm it up and remove. If you are not comfortable doing this, you need to take it to a detail shop. Hope this helps Doug, thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I just have one question; My vinyl has a slit about the same size as this one and is black, but there’s no texture it’s just smooth. How do I finish it off? Could I just dull the glue with my finger and lightly use a black sharpie to fill it in? Also on larger jobs, is that regular spray paint that they are spraying the seats with?
richard your suggested method will work great and for larger job we use this amzn.to/31CXEMs or this amzn.to/2XgiORk
I have this kit. Can I take my color concoction and apply it with your other video seat restoration with the lacquer thinner? Saves me from trying to color match with a whole spray can of paint. Hoping the answer is YES! :)
K Lee you will want to do this series #1 kzhead.info/sun/pdVrm52ArpyJo5E/bejne.html #2 kzhead.info/sun/iN6IdNiBmHyIlas/bejne.html #3 kzhead.info/sun/iZxxZ8ebpYRoiIU/bejne.html before attempting this seat repair. these will really help you, my friend !!
Sweet Project Cars thanks for the list of 3 videos to re-watch. I think this kit is good to use as a substitute to spray paint because color matching with codes can vary a lot through fading and wear. Your videos use so little color to mix into the silicone that it almost seems wasteful to buy a whole can when I can mix up a color and make some repairs at the same time . Also awesome is the container to keep extra paint handy. A big thank you!
Do you recommend this on a vinyl window that's more of hard plastic? If anyone can help please .I do Windows and guys are always tearing up the vinyl frame.thx
tom kav we would use this on hard vinyl window frames amzn.to/2I68Vi6
Well that's great I love the repairs what is the kit name / manufacturer 🤔
The one we show was discontinued, so we found this amzn.to/3iV1ueI and it's even better, Michel. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Does this kit come with the heat tool or no?? I just ordered it
Noah, the heat gun is separate, this is the one we use amzn.to/2QULWKK . Hope this helps. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
What is the name of the kit your using to repair small rips in vinyl or leather and from what company?
Hello Josie, they discontinued the one we used in this video, we use this one now amzn.to/3iV1ueI it's the best we've found and even better than the one shown. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
does this work on a faux leather recliner with cat scratches?
It will work good for that Chrystal. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Whats the name of the kit
Had a very similar kit from Permatex. The iron didn't have to be heated because it plugged into the wall outlet! Short cord and the iron was the same size as the one in your kit. Can't find that one anymore and I lost mine.
It's on Amazon for like 15 to 20
sir, can this item also helpul for repearing leather jackets?
It's worth a shot my friend, sounds like you've got nothing to lose and all to gain. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
And now you know how to fix the old leather coat you need to sell
