Leather Seat Restore (scuffs and scratches)

[PawnSacrifice]

After some earlier posts I have been asked about leather restoring a few times, so this time I thought it'd be as easy just to do a new post - save on emails. I used Liquid Leather Scuffmaster (copied the order details below). The colour match was very good (black leather) and the little white crease lines in the leather soon went - it's a wipe-on / wipe-off application. If you have bigger scuffs try applying with a tooth pick.

Sample before -


Here's what I did:
Cleaned with Zymol.
Wipe down with damp cloth (around the scratch only) and leave for 5 minutes
Wipe with cloth with Liquid Leather
Use tooth pick to pencil in the cracks
Wipe down after 1 minute
Wiped over once more with Liquid Leather
(proper instructions with the product)

After:


It says to dilute 10% with water but I've not bothered, just applied with a damp cloth.

Order details - for my black leather:
Your order from http://www.liquidleather.com has been recieved and is processing.
Product : Quantity : Price
Liquid Leather Scuffmaster 65ml Kit BMW, Z4, 2003, Black : 1 : £12.85

The Liquid Leather site is quite good, listing the different colours - you can mail them if your's is not on there. I did a small test on an out of sight part of the seat before I went for it. I now just keep the dye in with my cleaning kit and any time the seats start to look a little worn I give them a wipe, works well IMO

I haven't tried any other products but this seemed to work for me, for black leather.

Wow... Superb result!!

That's a good result - I think I'll be buying that very soon!

Got four Z4 seats all in need of touching up, including one with a sizeable/noticable scratch on the seat base from a mate's jeans studs (I think).

Great tip! They also have a product for your motorcycle leathers & gloves - I'll give that a try.

PawnSacrifice, Good link!
I'm not sure which black i'm supposed to state. Do you know the code by any chance? What did you enter in the box section?

It says on the colour list, "BMW blacks, we send out the darkest, you can alter with the toners in the 65ml kit."
So I would have entered: "BMW, Z4, 2003, BMW Black"

To add, I haven't used any of the toners on mine, but as with others may need to, depending on the amount of fade.

I was about to post a new thread asking how I could get rid of this:



Not sure how it happened, but its like a scuff mark from a fingernail. I've probably got the side bolsters pumped up too firmly.

The 65ml kit is now £14

I have a suspicion that black Kansas leather is slightly lighter than black Oregon leather, although I guess the toner solution makes the dye lighter in colour?

Just ordered it!

Bolsters pumped up too firmly? You can pump them up?

And the scuffmaster kits are brilliant! Stunning results every time

You sure can

Has the price changed? Looks to be £14 now? Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Based on feedback...

The 65ml kit is now £14

Yep, looks like the price has gone up a little... thankfully it does last!

[chris]

£14 is still a bargain, as to get it done by someone you are looking at least £100! And probably no where near as good!
