vinyl dye works well on dash pads, door panels, or anything that doesnt have too much traffic. The seat doesnt apply! If you are on a budget(been there), you might give it a try, but from experience......it will be a short term deal. crazyL

I've had good luck on dashpads and seats; just make sure you follow the directions to the letter, and that usually means a really clean surface before you spray...

While I have not done a seat, I have done all the other vinal with decent results. I wouldn't recomend doing the seat. I have an arm rest that the die is flaking off. I think I would just find a nice seat cover.
