Hey peeps,

Is there a local place that sells leather restoration kits? There are a lot online, but I'm worried that the dye I buy might not match the interior color so looking to see if I can find a source locally so we can match on-site.

Is reupholstering not an option?

It's an option if it didn't cost so much.

Perhaps local leather upholstery shop may have preferred contacts for this task.

Good luck!! Please post some photos if you do end up tackling this job yourself!!

A buddy of mine recommended Tandy's Leather so I'll bring the car there and see how they can help me out.

Is it beyond the Leatherique Duo option? People seem to really like that treatment.

Trying to see if I can fill the wrinkles so it's smooth again, or close to it. Highly unlikely, but doesn't hurt to try.

I got this for my used couch.

Color was very close but really happy.
Give me a shout and you can stop by and see if you'd like.

Worried on the matching. Color wasn't perfect match but you take the color to the seams and it dries and blends well.
