I used their dye to completely re-dye a pair of seats in another car I own, and I was pleased with the results.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My driver seat looks like this, but worse. Suggestions? Is there a dye I can get?

POST 2Original post

Try black shoe polish, the paste type like Kiwi.

POST 3Original post

I recommend that you contact the company at this link: https://www.seatdoctors.com/porsche-leather-dye They offer dyes mixed to match Porsche interiors. It is more expensive than shoe polish. I think it would be a better match for the color of your seat and you won't need to be concerned that shoe polish may rub off on your clothes. I used their dye to completely re-dye a pair of seats in another car I own, and I was pleased with the results.

POST 4Original post

We have a place in OMA called Dr Vinyl that repairs all my Wheeler Dealer Porsches when they have bolster issues. I'm sure there's a place in the Pacific Northwest that does the same thing. That doesn't look too serious.
