Default Leather wear and tear repair

Hey folks, my 2020 CS has relatively slight wear on some edges (see attached). How feasible is it to get them repaired? If so, anyone know what to look for in a good repair shop? Thanks.

Perhaps a little more detail will be needed as I do not see any issues in those photos that would warrant any kind of repair. Let us know.

cropped and highlighted. Looks like the piping for the chair.

Yep, been there. Colourlock (UK) is your solution. You will find my posts in the 991 forum detailing it.

Your dealer probably has someone (outside vendor) that comes in who takes care of the interior repairs on the lot, you should be able to get this done for less than $100.

I had something similar and had my wife video me getting in and out of the car. It was how I was getting out - not in. Dealer asked for $250 to fix and I pleaded the “really?” So they took care of it themselves as a goodwill gesture. The fix did take over 2 hours. However, it is perfect - and I’m a good boy now getting out of car

That just color loss. Shoe polish is all you need, buff it off well so it doens't get on youy clothes.. Normal friction wear.

You can order leather dye from Leather World Technology for an exact match to your Porsches leather color. I have done this for a couple cars and use a Q tip to apply it.
