Leather Seat Repair

[Editor_Reid]

I'd like to hear from anyone who has used a product that successfully repaired minor scratches on leather upholstery such as the one shown here:

I used Zymol "Leather Cleaner" followed by Griot's "Leather Care" (a combined cleaner and conditioner), and while that improved (lessened) the scratch, it's still there. Anyone know of any silver bullets - miracle products! - that handle minor leather damage such as this? Maybe Griot's "Leather Rejuvenator"? (I'm not stuck on Griot's products, but have had uniformly good results with them.)

Thanks.

Reid - I mixed my own, following a recipe originally from Connolly's in London. You can find the recipe on page 121 of this conservation resource, under Connolly's Leather Food (the original recipe; Connolly's is no longer "Connolly's").

Worked wonders on the 1953 leather upholstery on my TD several years ago.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Tom, but I was kinda hoping for an over-the-counter, off-the-shelf product. The recipe in that 340-page tome is all well and good, but the ingredients - anhydrous lanolin, beeswax, cedarwood oil, and hexane - seem to be in short supply around our house. Can't imagine how we let that happen.

Reid, it’s time to up your inventory control system. Absolutely no excuse to run out of cedarwood oil. Just go outside and milk a cedar….Just that easy.

In the past I've had luck ordering stuff from a thing called the internet.

Looks like you need a product with colour

My choice would be > Colourlock leather repair, cleaning & conditioning products | Colourlock Leather Repair <
