Seat renovation

The colouring on my seats is looking a bit worn out and indeed is non existent in some areas. I was flicking through my Woolies catalogue earlier, and they do a colour renovation kit, but dont say whether it can be used on the Leatherette moggy seats. They also want a sample of the original colour so they can mix up the correct dye, fine i'll just cut out a bit of my door card then.........
Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

Normally there is spare material on the underside of the seat than can be used for this purpose as they only need a small piece.

Really??
Would that stand up to continual daily use, the odd pile of shopping and people scrabbling over them when cleaning or working on the interior?

i have done it for the traveller i have had oily clothes on them it just wipes off with baby wipes
to clean you can eithern use car polish
but you need to get the same colour bright red is rover alriglic flame red theolder browny red is fiat rosso bucara
just light spray not too much spray over wise it will crack and come off also need to clean seats with paint thinner before spraying

Itll be very cool if it works.
