Seat Bolster Cracks/Color Loss
I'm sure many of us have had/are having this issue. I'm sure the prior owners of the vehicle weren't as concerned as I am about maintaining the leather. Merino leather is awesome and I want to get it back to like new.
Do any of you guys have a go to product you'd use/recommend to re-dye this small section of the bolster? Going to do a full Leatherique treatment and want to repair this section while I'm at it. I know Swissvax has Leather Healer that will correct the color but Swissvax is $$$$ for only having to do a small area. Open to other brand suggestions that you've had success with. Thanks!

6-18 months depending on use. Darker colors are better. |

https://www.leatherworldtech.com/Liq...t-p/30-444.htm Only like $12 which is way more palatable than the $90 Swissvax wants for Leather Healer. And this is the only spot that needs touch up so I don't need a whole lot of color.

Just wanted to find out if anyone has used a dye/recolor product that's had a nice end result. Going to try to find some more info on the Leatherworld product above and maybe give it a shot.

I found "colourlock" who have BMW colors. They seem to be on amazon but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify the color. I haven't found any forum reviews or before/after pictures yet. https://www.colourlock.com/bmw_leath...our_chart.html -Rich
