I don't know if this fits exactly with this thread, but...
just about the only things that were really showing wear on my car were the drivers side seat bolster and parts of the steering wheel where the sheen had rubbed off ('97 sport pkg w/black bolsters/grey inserts). After I treated the leather with Zymol, I used a $2 bottle of black shoe dye that I bought at Walgreens, and it did a great job of covering the wear on the bolster and also matched the worn parts of the steering wheel to the unworn parts. The difference is night and day.
It helps if you apply the dye and let it sit overnight before you buff it. Also, be careful, because the dye tends to run out of the applicator pretty fast, so cover the inserts and anything else you don't want dyed. |
