Black leather seat revival

[chuckie669]

Post up any tips or tricks for reviving your black leather seats. Like most, I have the black leather that starts to crackle and dull around the elbow area when attempting to get out of the car.

Before a car show once, I found that getting some black leather shoe dye and using a q-tip with the end moistened with said dye will almost perfectly bring back that dulling leather to new.

Has anyone else ever tried this or use any kind of leather polish?

I was considering doing something similar to the whole seat and see if I can really get back a dark rich black, but know it's never permanent. Sofar, it's lasted about a year and a half, but I can see it starting to dull again. All in all, not bad for something I had sitting around the house anyways.

Prima and Zaino both have leather products that I have heard good things about but have not used.

Zaino 9 and 10, use them both and it will revive your leather in no time.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. What would you suggest for someone with a small section that's been disclored due to wallet rub or something similar?

I don't have any experience with this or any leather dye's, but here is something that caught my eye while googleing:
