Shoe polish on dash

[hook682]

Just wondering, anyone ever try Kiwi shoe polish on any kind of scuffs or imperfections on the lower dash section or the parts on top of the door panels to hide them? How’de it turn out?

IMHO ... shoe Polish smells horrible when using inside cars.
You'd better use a leather dye/colorant for car interiors.

Angelus Leather Dye in a bottle works ok. I did my rear seat leather. It takes a few coats and then a buff with a cotton towel. Amazon has it.

This is a good method, used it on my cabriolet rear seats. They went from grey / white to jet black after two treatments. Just make sure you wear gloves and follow the dye instructions.

I have used shoe polish in the past and really liked the results.
It will fill in those small cracks also.

What???

shoe polish makes non leather surfaces very greasy

No thanks

Wax or liquid? Leather or vinyl? Either way, not a good use of product.

Show polish - I don’t even like to use it on shoes. The color can transfer accidentally (black) onto light colored carpet, door panel pockets.

Make sure you check the color match in an inconspicuous area before you apply.

Very entertaining movie, exemplifies the ingenuity of the greatest generation making-do with what’s available.
Pebble Beach approved Kiwi paste of course.

I tried this stuff on my leather steering wheel and no amount of buffing would stop it coming off on my hands while driving. I wouldn't recommend it for seats.

Did you seal it with Angelus 4-Coat after dye to seal?

[jrwilson]

I did not, I wasn't aware it existed!

I’ve had great results using kiwi on my black leather interior. Smells great to me.

I have used it on my 914 targa top

If you polish/buff it a bit, it will not just wipe off
