this stuff in a way saved me nearly 2 grand! so thought you might like to see!
my mrs has just brought an audi tt and wanted me to buy her one that was nearly 2k more just because the interior was in better condition!
so i promised her i could get her seats looking like new! and she'd seen the results i had on my bmw(bottom pics) and agreed to go for the cheaper one (which had less miles and a better service history by the way!)
anyway before

and then after doing just the bits that needed it it made the other bits look a bit shiney so basically ended up doing the whole interior
and it basically looks brand new!

Looks awesome but how about some details on what you used!

[kartikeya]

Wow! I wish I'd done something like that on my Lexus before selling it. What's the secret?

I'd love to see a write up on this. I've got a few things I would like to dye black in my car, and would love to see the process.

sorry guys thought id said in the 1st post its called a scuffmaster kit and heres where i got it from bespokeleathering.com
all instructions etc are on the site too but its simple really!

looks like something i could definitely use. interested in how it holds up over time...in heat, getting wet, etc. would **** for it to rub off on my clothes.

the vaders in the pics were done about a year ago now and still look exactly the same!
and no it doesnt rub off on your clothes although its recommended to leave them for 24 hours before you do use them!

[bobbyjones]

it sounds almost too good to be true
