Interior & leather
Leather seat cleaning, conditioning and full interior detailing, done by hand at your home anywhere in the GTA. Johnnie lifts body oils, dye transfer and ground-in dirt without harsh chemicals, then feeds the hide so worn seats get back their softness, colour and original character. Carpets, door cards, consoles and trim get the same care.
- Leather seat cleaning & conditioning
- Door cards, consoles & trim
- Carpet & upholstery deep clean
- Safe for vintage & original interiors
Paint correction & polish
Swirl marks, light scratches, water spots and dull, oxidised paint are corrected with multi-stage machine polishing, not hidden under glaze. Johnnie works the clear coat carefully, removing only what the finish needs, so it comes back deeper and glossier, whether it is a daily driver or a collector car.
- Swirl & scratch removal
- One- and multi-stage correction
- Oxidation & water-spot removal
- Gentle methods for original paint
Ceramic coating
A ceramic coating bonds to your paint and forms a hard, hydrophobic layer that sheds water and dirt and resists UV fading, road salt and bird droppings. Applied after paint correction, it locks in the gloss and makes every wash easier, a smart choice for Ontario winters.
- Applied after paint correction
- Hydrophobic, easy-clean finish
- UV & road-salt protection
- Long-lasting gloss
How he restores leather. Four steps, no shortcuts.
Leather is where most details cut corners. Johnnie's process is slow on purpose, so seats keep their softness, their colour and their original character, done by hand at your home anywhere in the GTA.
Inspect
A close look at every seat first: the wear, the creases, any stains or dye transfer, so he knows where the work is.
Prep
Every seat vacuumed, seams and crevices included, then wiped down so no loose grit gets ground into the leather.
Deep clean
A hard-bristle brush worked across the grain lifts the body oils, dirt and contaminants that a wipe leaves behind.
Condition & protect
Leather Honey warmed between his palms and massaged into every seat by hand. It soaks in, leaves no oily residue, and repels water for up to six months.
Leather Honey Leather Conditioner
The conditioner Johnnie uses on every leather interior. It restores and protects in one step, and leaves seats soft rather than slick.
- Protects & restores
- No oily residue
- Water repellent
- Non-toxic
- Lasts up to 6 months per treatment

What do you use on leather seats?
Leather Honey Leather Conditioner. After vacuuming and deep cleaning with a hard-bristle brush, Johnnie works it into every seat by hand. It restores and protects the leather, leaves no oily residue, repels water and lasts up to six months per treatment.
Should paint be corrected before a ceramic coating?
Yes. A ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it, swirls and scratches included. Johnnie corrects the paint first with machine polishing, then applies the coating so it seals in a clean, glossy finish.
Is a ceramic coating worth it for Ontario winters?
For most cars, yes. The coating forms a hard, hydrophobic layer that resists road salt, UV fading and bird droppings, and makes every wash easier through the winter.
What kinds of cars do you work on?
Everything from McLaren Sennas, a Nismo 400R and Lamborghinis to vintage classics and the everyday driver that gets you to work. Every car gets the same one-on-one attention.
