Any chance you could post link where you purchased from on ebay. thanks

 

I had minor abbrasions to my slate bolster and applied some black shoe wax. It's been seven months now and while you can still see the scuff the coloration is still good. Probably caused by pants button.

Someone had flipped a cigarette onto the riders seat while I was parked at the post office with the top down. I had parked in a less busy area of the lot to avoid dings. Ofcourse I freaked when I saw it but the cigarette must have gone out quickly because other than some ashes and a little nicotine stain there was no dammage to the seat inset. Wiped the area with leather cleaner and reconditioned the spot and it came out fine.

 

Sure, but just search for "Colorbond 160", or whatever color code you are looking for.

 

If you don't mind, what stuff did you use to prep leather before spraying paint?

 

Stop by a local car dealer - ask them who does their interior reconditioning and repair (the used car manager will know) and what day they'll be there. Autoqual, Creative Colors (CCI), independents... they're at dealers every day fixing exactly this kind of stuff.

They'll sand it a bit, fill it, then dye it to match. You'll never know it was there.

If they do it retail through the dealer, expect to pay about $150 for the repair. If you find the tech on the lot and ask him to do it as a side job, you might get it for $50.

 

There's dedicated stuff, just make sure it's a cleaner-only (and not conditioner, etc.). Many have conditioner even though not in the product's name. For me, in a bit of a rush, just strong 409 on a damp terrycloth rag -- found such a recommendation somewhere on the web. I let it dry overnight before using the dye.
