Default Leather dye

Hi all,
The steering wheel on my sierra 2000e was abit grubby so i gave it a good clean, and it came out some foul dirty browny colour. It should be grey. Looks disgusting lol
Anyway, I was wondering if there is some sort of dye or something similar so that I can just make it black and more presentable(with out getting black hands everytime i drive it lol). Probably easier to buy a black cossie wheel of ebay, but i like to experiment lol

Any products that you can suggest would be much appreciated!

Foliatec intensive interior spray.

Sprayed my faded and worn steering wheel about 6 months ago, still looks brilliant.

Got mine from Demon Tweeks.

re conalizing just about holds on to bolsters.....steering wheels being the highest ware point in the car...waste of money mate! have it trimmed for £100 and get 3-4 years out of it rather than 2-4 months!

£100 is alot to spend on a steering wheel aint it?! Well I have the spray now, just need to get off my arse and do it. If it does go tits up or doesnt last, Ill find a black cossie 3 spoke wheel off ebay of something.
