I've heard that SEM vinyl dye in the spray can is the best product on the market.... preparation makes all the difference in making it permanent. They recommend using wax and grease remover, then you spray their adhesion promoter on, then the color coat... if you've done this and it hasn't lasted, only other alternative is to go to an upholstery shop and have it professionally dyed... good luck.
