Jarrud.....yeah we live in Bristow. Got your pm and replied. I can always meet you at the BK in Manassas if you want. That's only 4-5 miles from my house. I thought you worked at the DMV in Manassas but I guess it's in Woodbridge then?

I WOUNDNT dye the carpet. It WILL NOT last. It will be a waste of money to do. After it gets wet it will start to fade and run, Turn into a big mess. Ive seen it many times. You can get a full replacement carpet from stockinteriors for like 200. Well worth it

AS for the dash IDK if i like the idea of the dash "DYE" its not really a dye more like a paint.

Thanks everyone....nice to hear compliments x2jesse1x the reason I'm going with the "dye" is because my dash is pretty horrible looking and I can't take it anymore. The rest of the car looks great then I have this crappy looking spotted up, browned dash. It looks like it's 50 yrs old versus only 8. It really is bad. Where the stains are the finish is totally gone and everything sticks to it. It's just odd looking/feeling. I know the product isnt a dye but rather a paint but it's been used to restore dashes on classic cars with excellent stock looking results. I'm not trying to change the color but rather just getting looking to where it looks nice.

I dont think so due to I guess how vinyl is made? Leather being a natural product the coloring would be able to actually seep into it....not sure.

Our local Oreilly's carries it. I've used Landau on seats many times and its nice. I've never used the flat black though.

It does last. And if you want to take it off use virgin laquer thinner on a micro fiber.

As for this stuff being dye, I believe on the can is says "this is not a dye". its some sort of bad *** paint.
