Is there a leather dye for bolster rash?

audimotion · 06-19-2011, 06:15 PM

Have only 24k on my 135 w/sport seats in Terra color, and always care when getting in and out, but the drivers bolster is showing some rash. It is more of a dye scuff, as the leather is fine. Is there a leather care dye avail. for automotive leather....kind of like a shoe dye for fixing scuffs. Any help would be appreciated.

I've read some dealers have recommended shops for this problem. Otherwise, below are some of the popular items I've seen recommended. I've never used any of them. Let me know how it turns out. I have the same problem.

Thanks. I am tempted to bring it in to the dealer and see what they say, since I'm still under warr. If anyone else has dealt with this issue, please advise.

13. Scratched or Scuffed finished leather – If the pigment coating is scratched it needs to be repaired and no amount of cleaning and 'conditioning' will make it go away. The surfaces need to be correctly prepped and then a pigment (colour) added. By using this kit from Leather Magic; wipe the leather down with the solution, using the 220 grit sand paper; this will remove most of the minor creases. Apply 3-4 thin coats of pigment (allow to dry between coats) you have the option to spray the final coat with a sprayer (all included in kit) – Leather Magic Repair
