Great job Ant, looking good.
Just thought I'd revive the thread as I'be started to dye my seats and door cards today. Can't imagine it's gonna to look anywhere near as good as Ants but here we go!

I would be interested to see your before and after photos mateJust thought I'd revive the thread as I'be started to dye my seats and door cards today. Can't imagine it's gonna to look anywhere near as good as Ants but here we go!
OK total f****** disaster. Just finishing putting another coat on the seat and the heavens open with no warning whatsoever. Reggie was under the carport but the rain sliced in from behind and straight inside the car all over the wet dye. Keys were in the house so by the time I'd ran in and grabbed them it was trashed. I've locked it up for today. Anyone got a seat for sale?

Ooo very timely, not for zeddy but the drivers seat in my seven. Mozza mentioned the gliptone stuff and i've just been on their site and thought i'd look on here too. Nice write up, ta.
OK after yesterdays diaster and several messages with Ant I'm back on track. Theres no evedeance of the water marks now, just went over it again this morning and its covered the marks up nicely. It is very forgiving stuff. I did the whole drivers seat in the sand beige but am going to re-dye the bolsters in dark beige and look to do the door cards in sand beige so all the spot effect areas are the same colour.
And this all started because of this!

Top job buddy as said it would come striaght its all about patience and not always a quick fix especially as in theory you have lightened the colour.
