    Quick Ques.

    Although I've been reading about coated/uncoated etc. I spot checked part of the drivers seat with 3D LVP and it appears that the color (black) is coming off on the MF towel. Even using 3D leather conditioner, the same thing; the color is transferring to the MF.

    What to do/use or stop?

    Are you sure its colour and not dirt?

    Have you done a water test?

    Thanks -

    Read and printed your link out a while ago. Wasn't dirt. Went ahead gently with LVP then Leather Cream by hand, again gently buffing it in, and all's well. Guess I panicked.
