Simply dab the dye onto the worn, scuffed or scratched areas of your leather, use it in LIGHT coats allowing 1-2 hours for the dye to be absorbed by the leather. Within 1-3 coats your leather will have a huge improvement - witness the pictures attached. It can be used on steering wheels, handbrake and gear lever gaiters SIMPLY AMAZING!!! I purchased the "Oatmeal" colored dye for my XJR last year... and then I foolishly let it sit on the shelf all this time. This weekend, I finally worked up the courage to try your product. The results were ASTONISHING. The job took 15 minutes and the dye matches perfectly. Actually, the job may have only taken 10 minutes, with me spending the other 5 minutes gleefully staring at my seat bolster in wonder. My driver's side seat bolster looks like new again.
