Well like many of us I have some wear on my drivers seat bolster,see below.photo-7.jpgphoto-6.jpg not a good look so looked into improving things and came across Leather re-colouring balm.the pics on their web site looked to good to be true but I have to say I'm pleased with the result,see picsphoto-10.jpgphoto-11.jpg points to remember 1.it only works if the marks/damage is lighter than the rest-as in black scratches on cream leather.2.give the seat the "clean of its life" as you will lock in dirt.3.give the balm time to penetrate before buffing off.4.take your time,step back light your pipe and admire your handy work!! :thumbsup: I got mine from Furniture clinic,they do 21 colours and blends very well.one last point-don't buy there leather cleaner,it's pony,go for one of the regulars.thats it,I'm sure it's been covered before but might give someone a heads up :driving:

Impressive... I was going to get some to tidy up the bolster on my seats before selling them... I'll definitely give it a go seeing those results! :thumbsup:
 
Excellent job Kneddy - I use black shoe polish on 'light' scratches and that seems to do the trick (although you need to buff off before sitting down :) )
 
hope it works on steering wheels cos the top of mine has a lot of little splits/scratches.
 
That looks a great job, can anyone tell me what the name of my black leather is in my 04 3.0i?, I am guessing Oregon Black, after checking Stuarts link, anyone know for sure?
 
I did something similar to my M5:

Only did this portion:

Used leather color from Leather Master. Started with their cleaner, then went on with the color, and finished it with a protector. Came out great, the seats were like new!
 
Thanks for all the complements-had no idea they done BMW colours!!are they for the balm or colour kit? Still glad you like :D
