Leather scuff.... Arrghhh

[Dr Drill & Fill]

does anyone know a good way to repair a scuff/scratch in the phantom grey leather??

my passenger was wearing jeans and the buttons of her back pocket have grazed the leather!!! the scuff keeps torturing me everytome i drive the car!!! i cant stand it....

Gliptone liquid leather.

ive been on the website and it offers a repair system which matches to the manufacturers original leather colour, from what i can see they dont have phantom gry on their database....

will the standard (ie. un-coloured) liquid leather fix the scuff which shows the white underlying layer of the leather?

no you need the repair stuff, rather than the regular conditioner

you will be surprised how close their generic grey is to be honest - I had some leftover that I had for my RS6, and used it on my Vantage (grey leather) and it worked a treat on some wear that have on a seat bolster

Liquid leather is simply the only leather treatment worth using imo ...makes it smell new again too

cheers bogie, so did u try carefully colouring just the scuff or blending in the whole section the scuff was on?

did u notice any change in shade? also how long lasting is the colour?

[bogie]

I have like hairline cracks down to white underneath, rather than scuffs, although on my old RS6 I did have scuffs

the way the instructions are written (or were last time I read them a few years ago !) you just rub the dye over the whole area and it only really sinks in to the white bits, then you leave it for a while and use the conditioner

All is explained with the instructions and they are helpful if you mail them and tell them what car its for they will give you the nearest match

the colour lasted at least 12 months until I sold the RS6, the Vantage was done about a year ago and still looks fine too

the before and after pics on the liquid leather site of a renovated seat, are not an exaggeration of what can be achieved with their products, hence every owner of a classic uses it (and every detailer I know)

Agreed. This is what some of the pro restorers use.





These kits are also very good and can be ordered online.

From the same site - surely 'Scuffmaster' is the thing you need for scuffs? www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm

liquid leather is good but before you go that far just try a little grey leather shoe polish......use a cloth to put it on ....leave it 10 min and then polish off.....make sure there is no residuel polish or it will mark clothing

hi AMD,

What colour is your leather? im guessing grey will be hard to match due to the numerous shades it can turn to if the repair colour is slightly off....

Dr Pain,

The leather was black exclusive on my Beemer, so a smooth satin finish was required. Although the leather is black, there is a hint of blue. When ordering the Leathercare product, you state the colour of your leather and they sent me a black base dye with other colours (blue, white, red) that are mixed in as a tint in order to get it just right. The pack also includes a gloss and satin finishing liquid. All in all, it did what it said on the tin and I no longer notice the scrathes on the seat.

I wouldn't hesitate to use it on the Aston if needed.

Hope this helps my friend.

PS. No pain, No gain!
