Quote:Ds, I see that Manchester Leather Food comes in black. Have you ever used any of this with "tint" in it? I have a black interior and a bit of bolster discoloration (who doesn't?) and wonder if that may help "hide" it? It doesn't annoy me to the point that I want to bother with dying it yet, though.
No, I have only used the neutral color paste , but that's an interesting question considering you have black seats ; I suppose it depends on the kind of dye they use for their black paste and how much that helps restore the black where you have discoloration.
However, I do know this : both Chelsea and Mancheter leather food was primarily made for treatment of soccer shoes made of calf leather or kangaroo leather which are almost all black, and can get discolored after a lot of abuse being trashed about and also exposed to sun , rain , and all those elements , so maybe the black dye in it does put color back into the leather . But if that's the case it could come off on your clothes as you sit in the car whereas you don't sit on your soccer shoes, lol, so that's not a concern .
If you have black leather shoes you need to condition, and want to buy it just to test it on those first and after maybe half an hour or so see if wiping them briskly with a white cloth brings anything up , you'll have your answer.
And maybe this belongs in the " Imelda how many shoes do you own ? " thread but I've been using Chelsea and now Manchester paste on all my shoes , which ( and RAP will appreciate this.. ) range from a low of $ 800 to about $ 2,000 a pair and everywhere in between those price points , so not something I'd want to take a chance compromising with leather treatment that's anything less than the best . If it's good enough for the shoes it's definitely good enough for my car seats !!
