Fox Red Interior Leather DYE Any one try it?

I have a fox red interior with a few small spots on the leather that are a little faded. I'm going to try and redye them. Has anyone tried this? If so, what dye did you use? Did you have good results

I see Swissvax has fox red dye but it's about $80 for a small bottle. A little pricey but I guess in the long run probably not bad if it works well.

I was looking into this too. For the Leather World order, what is the "gloss" to choose?

I used it in the past
it was not a great match. the dye was darker than needed (more on the brown side).
I would look for something different.

Seatdoctors.com. Good match for fox red dye, I used a matte top coat to finish as well. Result was decent.
