I recently picked up a center console conversion kit for the e39 bmw. The arm rest is gray while the interior is black. Do you know of a good product to use to dye the arm rest black? There's a lot of fabric sprays out there, but I need a permanent dye that's going to take the abuse of having an arm rubbing on it. Conversely, I don't want the dye to rub off. What products do I need to look for?

I haven't used the dye, but the leatherique products I have used were really good. I made a totally ratty Porsche 944 seat go from brown to clean light grey with their conditioner.

I'll bet that Josh the HCMC detail guy has some suggestions.

Rodney is a waxer (but in a good way)

as it turns out, don't need the dye any longer. The center console lid turned out to be vinyl, so bought a can of fabric dye and all is good now. Appreciate the follow up

For future reference, this stuff is great.

I used it to change a black steering wheel to "Savannah Beige", looks totally original.

Thanks, Cline...looks like a winner to me. As the S2000 gets older the seats will likely need this for when I sell it.
