I bought two of the Meltonian stuff, a little over $3 apiece, came out quite nice, just barely dipped into the second bottle.

The first shot is the seat in the first post, I did both of the seats. What a difference. The stuff buffed out pretty good. After sitting overnight after the 1st buffing, and then a second buffing, no trace of color comes off.

Thanks all for the info.
So all you did was apply, let dry and buff, then repeat?

Can you still see the scuffs in the texture?

I ask because my Jaguar has some wear in the driver bolster similar to yours. Did you do the whole seat, or can you use this to "touch up" an area?

Thanks,

George
