I used this and am thoroughly impressed. I bought the dye for my 98 eagle talon tsi awd. Sent in my vin and they sent me a perfect match. I grew up doing art so this came naturally to me and I used a bit of my own creativity. I cleaned the leather, deglazed with acetone, I also used acetone on a magic eraser on the rough cracked areas to buff our the rough spots. I then applied light layers and used the hair dryer method. My seats look brand new. I'm so happy with this.

My son and I are so glad we found the Seat Doctors videos and website. I bought him a 2012 Hyundai Elantra with black leather seats, but the color was worn in numerous areas to a bare leather color. They matched the color exactly, based off the vin of the car and "WOW!" the rear seat look amazing. We're getting ready to work on the front ones now. The cost of the dye is well worth the price and much cheaper than replacing the seats (even with something from the junkyard). I Recommend watching the videos entirely and following the steps as demonstrated and explained.

I have used this product as well. Unfortunately the filler doesn't hold up. If you apply it to the piece of leather that gets stretched when you sit-down or get up it will crack. The paint is disappointing as it comes off if you use rubbing alcohol and most likely will come off if using another cleaner. It should not happen to leather dye. You need to apply seven coats to make it even if not using spray gun. The leather texture is lost by the time you are done. Overall great for car flippers but I am not one of them. Color matching was not very close in my case, definitely noticeable if you don't paint the entire interior but this could vary. 1 filler is not enough for 1 seat and they claim it is enough for the entire vehicle. So get 2 of them if you have a lot of repairs and don't expect magic. Overall the seats look better, but I need to find filler alternative. Tired of reapplying and repainting...

Thank you for sharing. This was so helpful. But I have an acura with dove gray seats. My driver seat has a blue stain that I can't remove with cleaners. I purchased the dye from seat doctors- exact match but will I have to dye the entire section of the car seat for a stain in the middle of the seat? My test patch is a good match but it seems a little lighter. Maybe additional coats will look darker?

I got the sap off, but it took the color off or maybe it's just what won't come off of the leather. ANYWAY, ordered the parchment color as per instructured by Andy. I'm waiting for it to arrive, and was wondering what would you recommend I use to apply? A painter's brush , a makeup sponge ....Its basically a long straight thin line and then a few droplets on the bottom. Thank you!!!

For anyone that follows, no, do not condition the leather, only clean it with a water based cleaner (Lexol or Simple Green) first. Conditioner will leave a residue. Clean, apply dye, let dry, apply second coat, let dry (third coat if needed), let dry for a few days afterward. Then conditioner every six months or so. 👍
