[QUOTE="imafiacar528, post: 33049, member: 27724"] Just want to share something instead of getting information from this site.My 1997 E39 grey leather is getting faded....the more I clean it the more its faded. Was quoted RM2800 to do a reuphostering.Didn't want to spend too much....kiam siap laa. After checking ebay....try to get things from Ebay Australia/Taiwan/UK instead of Ebay USA ....the shipping cost is too high even though Ebay USA have a lot choices. Bought a 500ml leather dye (STANDARDLEDER/GRAU (N6TT)) from scuff master...uk.....after giving them the official leather dye (check by keying your last 7 digit of your VIN in a lot of the website) Spend 3 hrs during CNY to do vacumming, cleanning with thinner..and finally put 2 to 3 coat of this dye on my seat.Lazy to remove the seat, just use a sponge and blot it on the worst area and go the whole front and back seat till the color is matching.The dye color match 100%...I cannot belief it ! Best DIY project I have done. Used about 300 ml of the 500 ml bottle.The result is amazing ! for now....will let you know in a few months later if it start to fade.Just to share this..should have taken the b4 and after picture ..but my hand was cover with dye laa....sorry.
