Pleased to hear that you got a good result, I did my repair to a rear seat 3 years ago and it's still fine (although the seats don't get much use), I just used whatever products were in the kit and didn't apply anything else after.

It would be interesting to see how the steering wheel fares as that will get used a lot, it will probably be fine though and it's not really much of a hardship to reapply it every few years.
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.

Thanks chap

How easy was the repair to do? Send me a pm if you like to explain and will give the supplier a call in the morning
Yep it's defo Graphite then.
Just go to the Gliptone website to see the various kits and follow the instructions, it's easy, I didn't rush it and got good results.
I'm pretty sure you won't bother going to a pro afterwards from what I see from your pics, looks like an easy fix mate.
Having said that the creases will look better but won't disappear.
munky have got the gliptone stuff and its amazing I have to say.
the colour match is great and near OEM
i guess its all in the prep as took time to clean, degrease, then clean agai and apply.
after you finished did you apply any sealant or protector? pictures to follow and I can't believe the imporvement.
i don't think I will have to send the steering wheel, gear lever and handbrake cover to royal steering wheels which is a result. also i was getting quotes of 450-500 to get it done properly. she is no minter so see how it comes out and whether happy with that.
