Anyone know what would be a good product? Satin finish

sally. There is a simple spray on product you can use. Available (from memory) from automotive paint retailers

Yes, there is a spray on product to paint vinyl etc. Ive done a number of interiors over the years and can say it works very well indeed. Not cheap, but way cheaper than reupholstering the seats. As a rule you get a swatch of samples and send details to outfit that makes the paint and they match it.
You then spend a lot of time correctly prepping with preferably the product made specifically for cleaning it. Then you need to have a spray gun and compressor etc and go for it.
Or you can go buy a cheap can of vinyl spray and see how that works. Is you intention to keep or sell the car, or whatever it is you are doing?

Thanks all. My intention is to get a good result regardless. Maybe sell the car but looking good:)

VHT vinyl dye for me. I had 3 seats.1 black bucket seat 1 cream bucket seat and rear bench seat that was brown. I had no prepsol to clean them with so just used GP thinners to clean them. We also did 4 door panels and from memory used 6 cans. 2 coats each. 3 years later we sold the car and it still looked as good as it did when we first did it.
