Default Stubies Leather Dye

Can it be used to dye the *non* leather parts, i.e. glove box, centre console?

The answer is yes, I've done airbags myself.

I know poppy has dyed all black trim sandstone as well. Do a search for her posts.

Mine as poppies look at pics in both our previous posts
The dye is perfect colour match. I used beeswax based furniture polish, gave great seal and sheen finish.....smells nice too

Hi Stubie. The dye for Neptune blue I tried out last year came out a brighter more streaky blue than the colour of the leather seats and I had to in the end remove it with the Megulars. I bought 2 bottles of the dye and will try again in the summer. Any suggestions?
