Just as an update, repair is still looking like the day I done it despite frequent use! still best £20 I've spent on the car.

Thanks to the recommendations on here, I purchased some to repair some scuff marks on our leather settee.

Easy to use, matched the colour well and come up as new. Saved a fortune by not having to buy a new one for sometime now.

That’s a result!

As posted elsewhere in the forum, had a great experience with Furniture Clinic. I’m no expert but I’m pretty satisfied with how our Z4 seat was improved

Hi
Once you have used the furniture clinic dye on the seats what is the best product to apply over it on Nappa leather .

To protect and feed the leather and protect it from drying out

If you buy a 'kit' it comes with leather protection 'balm'. Or you can buy that separately. Or you can buy other leather protection 'juice'. I tend to use my Autoglym leather protector stuff as it's older than the furniture clinic stuff, so needs using.

Only thing I would say is let the dye fully dry for a few days before 'feeding' the area. Ask me how I know!

Will that leave the surface with a Matt finish

You can't "feed" modern leathers. From the Furniture Clinic site:

"Most leather produced for upholstery in cars and furniture is finished and has been for over 50 years. What this means is the leather is coloured and then sealed with a lacquer to help it wear. This lacquer prevents liquids from being absorbed by the leather and so will also prevent any leather food or hyde food from being absorbed too. Do a test – put a small drop of water on the leather, if it soaks in, so will leather food.

We have developed a product called Leather Protection Cream. This is what you should be using on leather. It helps maintain the lacquered coating on leathers, which will prolong the life span of your leather. Whereas if you were to apply a leather food, it would serve no real purpose."

So then how come their dye soaks in? Surely the same principle applies?
Or is the dye so amazingly good that it overcomes those 'lacquers'?
Don't make no sense to my tiny brain.

If the lacquer has worn off so that is why the colour has worn, then it can still be 'fed' as there is no lacquer! :?

I'm probably missing something again!

If I am not mistaken, not having done it myself but reading on here a bit, you have to sand/scuff the leather before dying it
