My 88 735iL's front seats are losing their blue/grey dye color on the "wings" due to wear. Leather is still in good shape but is fading to natural. Anyone here been successful at correcting this?

when mine started to show a little wear I bought a high quality liquid shoe polish that was the same color as the seats and redid them. i applied the polish / dye let it sit a few minuts and then hand buffed it off. I sat on a blnaket for a few days but nothing came off onto. Keep in mind that I used a liquid polish / dye not the type in a tin. I bought the dye a a shoe store. Two years later and it still looks like new.

Total cost about $6.00 and 1 hours time!
