Special edition? Is that the one with the Princess interior with the little ponies embroidered in the door panels? I'm kidding I'm kidding. Getting even about the toilet paper. Lol Yeah I wish I could save every old truck I see but I can't.

Hey you know I'm just playing around with you.
Everyone on here is so great and kind and knowledgeable and just trying to better themselves at this cool craft and make a living at it along the way and I feel like I may be dragging this forum down with my guesses and humor on things. I'm just a hobbiest, I'm not trying to learn this for the money or get into the trade and therefore I am going to bid everyone a farewell. Y'all are awesome, each and everyone! @John you are one of the best teachers on a craft that I have seen in a long time! Keep up the great work!

When wrapping, how do you know which direction to have the stretch go? If it’s only a one way stretch vinyl vs all stretch? I’d imagine door to door vs windshield to seat?

That would seem sensible if you plan properly it may ensure a tighter fit.

I put the stretch in the direction I think it will help the most depending on what areas will give me the most trouble. Try to come up with a plan before you start and understand where the problem areas will be and decide which stretch direction will help the most.

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube. you can learn a lot from it .
Wow! Thank you very much for the video, because it is really useful and this interior looks superb!! About it, i guess that if we want the best result, it would be necessary to use a leather skining machine? That Russian shop job looks really sharp...
