Did you dye it and then put a clean coat on top to seal the colour ?
the dye has a built in sealant steps i did mine,
  1. wipe with panel wipe
  2. dab neat dye with sponge onto damaged areas leave 30 minutes
  3. tad drop of water in the dye 10% then wiped the full wheel with dye left for 20 minutes this gives a good key
  4. dab damaged areas again then wait 20 minutes again
  5. dyed all the wheels still with a sponge it goes on rough but soaks in and dries smooth
repeat dye every 20 minutes keeping the wheel in a warm room all the time, i then redyed it in the morning before work, then when i got home

all in all about 7 coats as each coat hides more and more wear or damage

it is really good stuff, the 65ml kit comes with toners and gloss enhancer though clean leather is a matt colour so thats what i went for

id recommend to you to get the 250ml kit and you will have loads left after for future touchups infact i redyed my corner sofa with it and that looks superb

so to recap its a 1 step process the sealants built in
