Default Fixing light leather scrapes

My full/“supple leather” black interior side panels are showing some small light scrapes as a result of child seat/safety belt rubs, my dog perching his paws on the door sill waiting for me to get into the car etc.


Anyone have a good fix to blend these back into the finish?

I'm very interested as well. The leather on the side of the seat actually is fading in colour. Mine is black so noticable. Is there a dye for the leather and hopefully does not come off to your clothes during wear and tear?

I've had very good success using Dynamix leather dye. It comes from the UK and their color is spot on. My graphite grey was showing wear on both front seats and especially the steering wheel. After about 7-8 coats, it looks perfect.
