Default 2011 Black Seat dye advice

Hello,
I’m hoping some upholstery experts, or knowledgeable owners can weigh in on the best way, and products to tackle these bolster issues. According to the build sheet, this is just “black” leather sport seats for a 2011. A few are just nicks in the bolster finish, and the drivers bolster has color wear. What’s the current best system to fix and refresh this wear. Thank you

Obsessed garage on youtube has some leather quick fix videos. Colourlock has some videos online as well on their site.

That's a bit out of my realm, I must say, for DIY stuff.

Colourlock/Swissvax kit. They're the same. Typically for color match they recommend you cut a small piece of leather from the underside of your seat and send it in. Then they can match it. There are flaws with this as the underside of the seat would have worn and faded at a different rate, obviously.

Otherwise you could go on the website and find the closest one you think.

If I was doing this, I'd probably try the colourlock kit while knowing I may end up hiring a professional to professionally redye it if it doesn't come out as I'd like.

Leatherworldtech.com and/or seatdoctors.com I’ve used both of these with excellent results.
