    What an awesome color, it looks great with the dark cladding too!
    and the leather restoration is amazing...it IS magic!

    I thought the Forever Black dye was basically the same type of product to the Showroom New dye...but I recall recently DisasterLady posting that it chipped off in places, and only lasted 6-12 months.

    She also said with several coats it was REALLY shinny, I prefer less shine, more satin or matte like SN.

    My SN is exactly the same as it was on day 1, now about 20 months.....so maybe they are different technology??
    Assyrian...keep us posted and updated over time

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for the thumbs up. I updated the website with pics of the steering wheel and arm rest.

    The dye does not rub off. You need time to sand the leather and use a foam brush. It all comes with the kit. After a year, it still looks good.

    Any red/black steering wheel looks cheep and doesn't match. Wheel Skins make the best and you need black.

    My mistake regarding the date. Time goes by so fast. It's been a year since I had this color. The cladding color is not shiny and is a nice matte. Most of it rubbed off because of the brush car wash. Since using only spray car washes, it has lasted me all winter and I redye it every six months to refresh it and make it look new.
