Faded Trim Plastics, Also seats
This is probably a repost but just picked up the 911 and the trim and plastic pieces are greying or turnings white and ashey from the sun. Whats the miracle cure for this? something i can get at a lcoal shop if possible
Also my driver seat is in good shape but has some typical cracking/scratching look going on the outside of the seat. Whats this miracle cure?
obviously I must believe in miracles

I have a very slight problem on the driver's side seat bolster. Gray leather is notorious for fading.
Call this place and talk to Jamie. They have excellent factory color-matched spray leather and vinyl dye. getting mine this week.
Thinking of dying the door handle trim and map pocket covers black for some contrast (I have the black deviating carpet option and console is getting painted black)

Go to Color Plus (www.colorplus.com). They can custom mix leather dye for you. You should also buy their brush, which doesn't leave any brush marks. I re-dyed the seats on another car that had black cracks showing on a light grey surface and I was thrilled with the results. The seats look like new now.

I opted for World's products since they are the only company making quality custom dye in a spray can- so no worries about brush marks and easier to do a nice job.

I just got my order of dye today from world products. They send you big cans of spray. I would have to say there's enough spray in a can to do a full front seat. seems to be a pretty exceptional value.
I also bought a can of their professional leather prep/cleaner, and a can of their leather clear gloss top coat for a nice protective shine. Both come in a spray.
Will be doing some tests tomorrow on some scrap porsche leather to test their color match of the graphite gray factory color.
I bought a can of Porsche interior black dye- Since I have the deviating carpet option (black carpet and black carpet door panel lowers with the gray leather interior), I was considering dying the inside door handle pulls and map pocket covers black.
opinions? Has anyone done this or have pics? I'm thinking it might look nice, especially since my center console and horshoe will be painted body black.
