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
