“Are You Looking To Learn Automobile Upholstery For Fun or Maybe As An Exciting Career or Business?”

Hi, my name is John Pollock and I’ve been doing automobile upholstery successfully now for over 12+ years. During this time, I’ve learned all the tools of the trade including mastering the right skills and techniques, plus so much more.

I simply love auto upholstery and I’m very passionate about the entire process of it…

There’s nothing like transforming unique fabric and other materials and turning them into something amazingly beautiful and unique inside a car. It’s an artform that is learned, and once you know how to do it, you’ll fall in love with it just as much as I have.

But as I progressed in the world of this unique type of upholstery, I also picked up a lot of “tricks of the trade” that many people don’t use or even know about in this industry. Many of these skills and tricks I’ve learned on my own through a lot of hard work and perseverance.

Needless to say, my journey into auto upholstery has not always been an easy one. But looking back now, I’ve realized it’s made me the expert I am today, and for that, I’m very grateful!

 I’ll be honest with you…

When I first starting out learning how to do auto upholstery, I had to learn by a lot of trial and error. I was lucky enough to have a teacher when I started that helped shorten the learning process and help me avoid many critical and costly mistakes

Just a few short years ago I decided to put out a few “How To” upholstery instructional videos on YouTube. I didn’t think much about it, but to my surprise, the videos started to get a lot of views and some pretty amazing and positive feedback as well.

I quickly realized that I loved sharing and teaching the skills I’ve learned over the years to people all across the world. I finally felt like I had a way to breathe new life into this “older” artform, but in a more modern way.

Once I started to see that the videos were having such a profound impact on those who watched them, I decided that putting only my best, step-by-step instructional videos into ONE “HOW TO” COURSE was the way to go. And now, after a large demand from our students, all of our upholstery courses are available on DVD!

Don’t get me wrong, there’s still great demand in the auto upholstery industry for “how to” information…

The bad news is, there’s a lot of incomplete or bad misinformation out there and with the course I’m about to reveal to you, I’ve finally solved that problem and created an opportunity just for you…

“I’m Very Proud and Excited To Introduce To You My Exclusive Lucky Needle Auto Upholstery Courses on DVD”

“Worth every penny! I can’t even thank you enough for all the tips and tricks you point out, very detailed videos, I couldn’t find anyone that would be willing to give me some classes in person (I was willing to pay) your classes popped up on facebook a friend tagged me and that is how I was able to enroll. I strongly recommend taking the bundle package! Now it’s time to practice!” Luis R.  –  2021

"These videos are awesome and I really appreciate you taking the time to make them. I have struggled for a year now trying to figure some of this stuff out on my own. These videos go into really good detail. I purchased Sid Chavers DVDs a year ago and they were good but only hit the high points and left a lot of gray areas. I have already got my moneys worth with the tips making things easier and more consistent." - Todd S.
