Does anyone have any tips as to how I can hide scratches in leather seats? Appears that the previous owner wasn't cautious of keys scratching the seat.

I have the dark grey colored leather (not leatherette). Anyone have any luck with a polish or something like that? Do they make kits for this somewhere and which ones work good?

Thanks in advance for anyones help in this matter...

 

id try some leather conditioner.

There's a custom leather shop on S. Broadway North of Belleview (on the west side of the street) named Jerry's, give them a call. The leather bolster on my S started wearing in one spot and this shop sold me a bottle of Fiebing's (Black) Leather Balm that worked well to cover up the worn area. My leather is black, and I don't know if Fiebing's makes a grey leather balm, but the side of the bottle says for colored leather use Atom Wax Balm. If Jerry's can't help you, maybe they know someone who can.

 

you can try a grey creme shoe polish. if you go to a real shoe repair shop they will have a rainbow of colors. one of them should be a very close if not perfect match. rub it in buff it off and it should be much better. fairly inexpensive too.

I've done this before and it worked well. They DO have MANY different shades/colors - and you really only need to be close, because the scratched/worn areas will absorb the color and the rest won't if you wipe it right off. It'll kinda naturally blend if you get fairly close on the color.

You can also buy two different shades (one lighter, one darker) and custom blend your own shade to get even closer...

 

yep. i used to work in a leather shop making, shoes, belts, etc. our suppliers had TONS of colors of polish and dyes. you can also use shoe polish to help conceal scratches in plastic and wood. you can even use it to stain wood if you're looking for a particular color that you can't find in a wood stain.
