Re: Leather Seat Restore (scuffs and scratches)
Good thread this.....
Ive just found a few small cracks on my freelanders seat in the folded over leather (finishes the edge)as its joined to another section with stitching. basically it must have got a little dried out and split slightly at the stitching.
I think it looks like it needs a little filler type product then touching over with a paint.
Any ideas? When i can get the photo uploaded it may help a little.
Cheers

Re: Leather Seat Restore (scuffs and scratches)
This thread was just what I was looking for! I have had some scuff marks on drivers seat ever since I bought the car and always told myself I would sort it but never got round to it and didnt really fancy paying someone to restore it! Ordered liquid leather on Monday and arrived yesterday. Car needed a serious clean so thought would be the perfect opportunity to use it. Results below...

Looks imola red to me, but that can only be if it is an M.
If it is not an M, then it is "dream red".

Re: Leather Seat Restore (scuffs and scratches)
I picked up the kit in Estoril Blue to restore the bolster and headrests. Done one bolster so far and it's well worth the £14. Literally took years off the car and now the interior looks like it has been meticulously cared for as opposed to "well loved".
Couldn't recommend enough and I was well prepared to take the car to get re-upholstered. No need at this stage

Re: Leather Seat Restore (scuffs and scratches)
Has anybody tried this on a facelift 2006 dream red interior? Is the dream red colour the same as the 2003 colour listed?
Thanks

I ordered Estoril Blue but it was 1999 Estoril Blue. What I would say is that the colour was a little bit bright but it comes with tiny pots of black and white dye which I applied on top and blended it in with the original seat colour.
