    Leather Bubbling?

    Good evening all. I was over the parents' house today and my sister asked me to have a look at her interior. Fairly well cared for (she uses Meg's Gold Class Leather Wipes), but on the driver's side door armrest and the center armrest it looks like the leather is bubbling. Is there anything I can do for this? I really don't think so, but its worth asking. Thanks in advance







    Edit: This is a 2009 Honda Civic EX-L

    Re: Leather Bubbling?

    Its the coating lifting off the surface of the leather. MOST TIMES is it caused by human oils deposited by constant contact such as arm rests and door handles. Sometimes its just a crap quick job by the manufacturer.

    Its usually fixed by a sanding process then color repairing unfortunately, from my past dealings or they reupholster the section :sad:

    I figured it wouldn't be easily fixed. Thanks!

    Are you sure these are leather surfaces? All the Honda EX-Ls I am familiar with have leather trimmed seats. Other surfaces, such as the armrest and door panels are vinyl.

    That looks like vinyl not leather.
