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.

Thanks for the info! Since I'll be using different clean/restore products (Leatherique Rejuvinator and Pristine Clean) I think I might try this out:

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.

I've got the Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner as well and they are great products for maintenance cleaning. I'm going to go a step further this time with the Rejuvinator and Pristine Clean from Leatherique which is more of a yearly treatment. Rejuvinator sits on the leather for 12-16 hours replenishing all of the natural oils.

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 have a worn e70 door panel armrest and am looking into the same thing...

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.

Thanks Rich - looks like some good stuff. Now to figure out which black my seats are - didn't realize there were so many varients!

I'm going to do some searching and see what I can find as far as reviews go. Price seems re so if I give this a go I'll post an after pic.
