Who is good these days for recolouring seats, someone who is careful with the car, good and reasonable. If that existssmile

If it's not too big a job - like a patch or area that needs recolouring it's actually pretty easy to do it yourself.

I bought some dye to recolour a Pebble (very light grey) seat where the dye had worn through over time. I bought the dye, the vendor had videos showing how to apply along with clear instructions and it looked as good as new when I'd finished.

Yeah, the furniture clinic stuff is amazing and really easy to do.

As above, I repaired a bleach splashed light grey Mini Cooper leather seat with one of these kits.

It was surprisingly successful, no trace of damage left.

It's for a new Cayenne brother in law bought, it's beige inside but wants black.

Places are either saying they can't or silly prices where they have to take out interior which he doesn't want.

Have you looked at the furniture clinic website?

£70 and a day will do what he wants.

You can't dye the entire interior of a car! THose kits are for repairing a small marked part of a single seat
Find another car, or buy a 2nd hand interior and swap, or put up with it. THey are hardly rare cars.
If you strip out / sell & buy a replacement interior right it could cost you nothing to do
Taking seats out is very straightforward

Yeah you can with the furniture clinic kit.

Exactly what it is designed for.
