Attn.. 40th Ruby owners..cosmetic solution
For years I have tried to resolve the "faded" look of the seat backs of the ruby. No dressing would provide a lasting color change until now. I applied "Black Magic" tire wet gel to the seat backs and they look super. No residue, and very long lasting. Now the backs match that beautiful ruby leather. Probably any gel will provide the same results. Try it!

Mark, I have owned my ruby for over 8 years, and the seat backs never did match the luster of the dressed leather. Now they do. (You must own a coupe..I'll check your profile)

For a quick application..LRV (The Wax Shop). For a "loving application", I use saddle soap followed with mink oil. Both come in a paste form, and are available at most stores that have a shoe section. These items would be on the shoe polish shelf ($2/large can).
