Default 997.2 Interior leather repair...

I managed to scratch my glovebox door with my fingernail. Left a nice mark behind. Amy instructions as to how to make this disappear without altering the surrounding leather finish (flat black, original, not yet treated) this is an 09 with black leather interior.Thanks everyone.

Have you tried a leather upholstery shop? They might be able to fix the damaged area.

Might help if we had a photo of the damaged area. Can you post a quick pic?

Every major market has a go-to leather repair shop usually mobile and at the highline dealers weekly.

Ask around: Lexus, Mercedes, BMW service desks all know who 'that' guy is.

They do amazing work in very short order, and these things are easily fixed. You'd be amazed at what I've seen come through the back of some dealers, only to be tidied up by these pros and put back up front for CPO resale, flawless.

Eric is correct.
Last fall I had the local 'leather menders' guys fix a 1/4 inch long nick on the driver's side door pull. it annoyed me to no end...The local dealer uses them all the time.
Well, it's absolutely perfect, like it was never there.
Never heard if the guys I used until the dealer directed me there.

I know this isn't in your area, but the link will give you an idea
