Another Colourlock before/after

Here are some before and afters using Colourlock. You can get it on Amazon. Black seats are code F034. Here's the link:

I bought the smallest bottle and it was more than enough. My steps were to first wipe it clean using an interior cleaner wipe. Any will do, just to get the grease and oils off the seat. I then dabbed a little bit of the dye onto the sponge that came with the package and started applying generously. I finished off the edges with a q-tip. $17 to look somewhat close to new is such a steal.

PS: I didn't sand the seats beforehand so it still feels scratchy to the touch. But looks wise, at a quick glance it looks pretty good. Also I would recommend going slow, I did accidentally dye one part of the string that sews the seat together.

That's amazing. Just ordered. I'm only at 25k miles, but the first owner put some serious wear there and it's been bugging me!
