New member and new owner of a C2S with MT. Loving this car, still at 1000 miles so taking it easy but can't wait to hit 2k to have some fun. I took the car in for PPF and when I got it back I had this scuff on the glovebox. Any ideas how to remove it? I can't really prove it was the guys who did the film install, I noticed the damage 2 weeks later. I tried a damp cloth so far. Don't want to damage the leather.
Before you apply any chemical to the leather I would try a quality leather cleaner- this will be the safest thing.
Ivory soap on a warm wrung out microfiber cloth is where I would start...
But I would want to find some area that is out of sight to verify that there is no damage to color. Take your time
and be gentle...
I would also suggest dishwashing soap, a little warm water - looks like it is more of a mark/than actual leather scuffed. So it should come out. Or trusted leather cleaner as others suggested.
PS. For Break in of your car - 600- 1000 miles is all you really need. 2K is not needed for break in miles, so you should have at it - no car really requires 2K break in.. Just an FYI.
Are you referring to the black mark on the left or the light scratches on the right?
for the black mark, +1 on the light leather cleaner or if you don't have a bit of dishwashing soap. go in light circles. let it dry. if it gets better redo until its gone.
I also think leather cleaner & conditioner might take care of that , but it’s hard to tell from the photos. Don’t use any strong chemicals or anything abrasive. Leather masters is a good product and safe. You can also try leaving the car out in the sun for a few hours before trying this, a bit of heat helps leather conditioner absorb into the leather.
Now that I am on my computer and able to zoom in, it doesn't look like the leather is damaged - just needs to be cleaned and conditioned as recommended above.
My opinion the best leather cleaner and conditioner. Use a hairdryer on low heat just to warm up the leather. Massage into scuff. Wife's new Benz seat actual leather scratch from her golf club caddy. Used above method and the puffy scratch disappeared with just some massaging.
Magic eraser is abrasive and could do more damage including stripping the top dye off the leather.
I have some liquid hand sanitizer in my car and use it whenever I touch money or go to a coffee drive thru. Hopefully it won't prematurely fade the leather on the steering wheel. Seems fine so far.

probably fine as long as you are not going overboard getting hand sanitizer on the wheel all the time. Maybe wipe the wheel with a damp cloth every few days. I dont think it will fade, but over time, alcohol can dry out leather.

Just wipe it down with the toilet paper you have hoarded

Hey man, I've had Type 1 diabetes since I was 14. I haven't gone nuts with taking extra precautions, but I am one of those people with a pre-existing condition who needs to be a little bit more careful.
