Leather seat restoration?? Any suggestions....
The left side of my driver's seat.....which you rub against as you plop into the car has worn off so that it is no longer black like the rest of the seat..........any suggestions on how to restore this??? any leather dies that work without rubbing off on your clothing??
Thanks for your comments>>>>>

They are usually fairly cheap.
I'm sure if you call a good body shop, they can recommend one.

I think there is a spray paint that is designed for leather seats. I've heard that the factory seats color is sprayed on anyways, not sure if they also dye it... I don't know if you would have to do the whole seat to match color. Maybe you can stop by an upholstry shop to get some good advice.

Go to: www.leatherique.com
They make great stuff. Rolls-Royce and Lotus guys use them.
I use their Rejuvenator Oil and it's the best I've found. They also sell dyes.
