Reconditioning my leather seats

[Ckrikos]

LWT is going to replace my bottle of dye. Did you get low or medium gloss. I originally got low, but may change that to medium.

Also is the dye permanent, i was able to rub it off the handbrake with a bunch of lexol. It did require lots of elbow grease, now i didnt let it dry much and was about half an hour after originally applying it.

Ill also add that it doesn't appear to color the vinyl very well. Ill keep you guys posted when i get the replacement.

I used the low gloss, but I think if I were to do it again I would go with the medium gloss. I did apply Lexol conditioner today and that added a nice shine to the leather. The dye is supposed to be permanent. Not sure about the handbrake. If it's leather, before dying, make sure you go over it lightly with a scuff pad. Be careful not to scratch the surface. LWT sells the right kind of scuff pad for that (they're similar to scotch brite pads but not as abraisive

I tried the handbrake leather because I had it sitting around and needed to test the dye on something. I bought the dye to repair the driver seat bolster as they are worn and the tops of my rear seats as they faded and just need to be dyed. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

raising up this thread from the dead.
i think 2 years later, its a good timing to follow up with the results.
so how is it holding up for you guys?
