Scratch on center console; looking for advice
Hi
I noticed this scratch a few days ago and while it's minor, of course it's nagging me. This is on the passenger side of the center console. I have "full leather, black" but can't tell if this part is leather or rubber. I'm assuming it happened months ago when I had a custom fire extinguisher mount installed - they had to remove the seat and it must've happened then. Anyway, it's minor but I don't want it to spread. Any idea what I can put on it or do to it to blend it in so it disappears ?
Thanks !

Many leather repair shops can repair leather, plastic, and vinyl. My local one can and did a nice job on a gouge in the "leatherette" on another car of mine a while back. It didn't 100% disappear but you had to look really hard to find it.
I'd suggest you check with them before trying a DIY since your attempt may interfere with a more proper fix. Prices have been very reasonable the three times I've used them in the last few years.

That part is not leather, even with the "full" leather interior option. There are a multitude of additional leather options beyond the $3850 leather interior option, if you want a real full leather interior. Around $13K worth of options. That part is included among the extra $13K.

That’s vinyl. Get a little acrylic paint and touch it up. Easy.
