Default Leather Dyes

It appears someone didn't like me picking up where Stubie left off and complained about me "selling" leather dye without being a "trader".

A bit of history - Stubie stopped supplying dye and I was forced to look for a supplier for my own cars. I found a company, paid for computer matching etc. Numerous people, seeing my refurbished steering wheels, then asked if I could get them some dye. I did, gladly. I'm retired so always eager to help, I did so.

I had numerous people asking for some as word of mouth got around. Different colours...... again, I did so to help fellow enthusiasts. Paid for the matching etc. I was ALWAYS helpful and provided a bucket load of "extras" free of charge to help a fellow enthusiast.

I let people know on the Facebook sites, placed it on Ebay and lastly made people aware on this 75/ZT company/club.

I gave a discount here for fellow enthusiasts (on the ebay price - fees etc), which barely covers my costs - bottles. padded envelopes, petrol to collect and to the post office etc.

It seems some people still don't like it and complain.

SO........I will no longer be selling through this "club". It is still on eBay, will be more expensive though to cover their fees.

Not my fault, blame whoever complained (which had absolutely no influence on his life or business). Seems nothing changes on here.

As I believe you’ve had explained to you by a mod, if like Stubie you are selling these on a not for profit basis then as a red subscribed member (not a trader) as Stubie was, there is no problem.

We offer you the same option. It’s down to your decision.

I bought my sandstone straight from the bay, it was easier to just press the one button.
Do you do the aubergine, Bob?

I'm afraid not, well not yet anyway. It's basically a case of finding a sample to match against.

Ah, righto. I can help you with that if you're interested.
