Yeah it works good....the key is to make sure the stuff is very clean AND FREE OF SILICONE (such as armor all).
Here's a couple of good articles on interior refinishing.

Yes it works, but it is not dye !!! Dye would change the pigments ( ie: color ) of the material, this stuff is a coating - it is a paint - it can and does come off.
