scuff master kit from Gliptone.
Contains cleaner conditioner, and dye. Cost about 25 sovs, and is really good.

Just bought some Gliptone GT12 (Cleaner) and GT11 (Conditioner) off ebay. Tried it out on my gear knob tonight.

Initial impressions are good, removed a lot of crap with the cleaner and just waiting for the conditioner to soak in. Still quite shiny and sticky after a couple of hours.

The conditioned area will remain sticky for some time. Leave overnight and it'll be fine, just takes a while to soak in.

Correct, the stickiness has now cleared up.

This sounds good, how far does this stuff go (coverage wise) as I would probably do the entire interior for colour match purposes. Also is there a particular black to go for or do they only do 1 black dye??
Sorry for mulitple questions, tried in vain to use search button first...
