I have these in the leather of my Porsche 997 doors...





Any suggestions how to remove or repair them? They appear to be scratches/indentations to the leather. Should I try the hairdryer technique where heat is used to 'shrink' the leather, or something else? I've seen people use a leather filler previously.

Theres also a little bit of wear to the dashboard stitching...




Any ideas on repairing this? Beeswax maybe?

Ta!

You could try a leather protector/sealer, it wont make it perfect but it will improve it, I think the only perfect repair with things like this is to replace, but as im sure you are aware it will be pricy!

initially I would use a high quality cleaner to deep clean the door cards, then a feed. Forget the hair dryer. The dashboard is just wear and tear, nothing you can do about that.

A re-colour will sort out the top of the door.

and a remington Fuzz away or fluff away will sort out the sticking
