I do not know what it is maybe heave wear and tear? but i noticed my seats losing some grey color from them. I was told by a detailer that i would need to get them re dyed? Is that the best option to go by? or what other options do i have? i live in nyc but work in PA

Options:
1. Do nothing (finish will further degrade over time)
2. Apply a pigmentation (colour) and clear finish (done properly a ‘like new’ fish is attainable)
3. Install new seat covers

I have my steering wheel also loosing its color (two tone black & grey) maybe my fault as i use hand disinfectant and may have touched the wheel too many times with the alcohol content in the hand cleaner

Thank you, TOGWT. A little confused though... is that your website? If yes what do we need to get our seats restored to its original color or get them "redyed" ?
