Leather Seat Repair/maintanance?

[Stuno1]

Just bought san ISF and there is some very light wear on the side of the drivers seat from people getting in and out.

I have Megs leather feeder to keep the leather supple and not sap natural oils but is there anything that can be done to repair/limit the wear?

I used the company below to buy some leather dye for our leather settee which had scuff wear along the front of the cushions.

I simply suppied a small sample and they colour matched it perfectly.(look under the seat for a sample)

Apply the dye to the small sponge supplied with the bottle of dye and dab onto the affected area.

I also used the same stuff on my 1994 LS400 shifter knob and it still looks good nearly 5 years later.

Alternatively there are specialist companies which will come out and do the repair for you.

I can recommend Mark Slade very highly. Here's his link:

Mark came to my house and tidied up the two front seats, centre armrest and door trims of my 1996 Mk 3, all for £180. Here are the results:

That stuff looks ok but won't give same level of finish as a pro.

Was quotes just under 200 for driver seat, passenger seat and arm rest. Happy with that.
