POLL Dying car seats

[Shelly]

Do you think is wise to dye your Zs leather car seats
Do you think the dye will come off on your clothes
Just wondering about the pros and cons
Thank you everyone

It 100% won’t come off if you use proper materials and seal it afterwards.

I've done mine, as have many others, using Furnitre Clinic kit. No issues with the dye leaching out on your clothes.

When I cleaned my seats yesterday , some of the dye came off , not much , so I was thinking of giving then a spruce up , so they look lovely again , the passenger seat don’t need doing as it’s spotless and I want my seat to look the same .

If dye came off then usually it means someone has retouched the seats in the past and not sealed it. I see it quite a bit.

If you’re using a professional type deep cleaner like Furniture Clinic Ultra Clean then it will aggressively remove any colour not sealed.

I used ColourLock which was excellent.
I got the starter kit which was great

Hi Shelley

The interior of mine is all dyed. The seats were a dirty beige/cream from an MGF, leather for the consoles/door cards was a light cream. I, therefore, opted to dye and seal it all to match.

Seats pre dye:

All done:

Car has done 3500 miles since this was done and there is not a mark on it. I used:
