Car seat leather repair

[shakalaka]

So I ended up inadvertently damaging the edge of the seat of my car. I didn't realize that a metal button on the back pocket of my pants was bent and had an edge raised up to the side. I noticed the second time when I sat in the car that it scratched along the edge of the seat.

Thankfully it's not a rip or tear or anything but it definitely looks like something has happened there. Is there a product that I can use to polish the area or something to fix something minor like this? It's not a super big deal but it bothers me.

Pictures for reference:

Take it to CR Techniques and have it fixed up?

with all that damage, I'd probably only offer half your asking price. it's not worth much anymore. :poosie:

$5000! Cash! I come pick up today!

Or you can get coloured creams/dyes (but watch the stitching) to restore it

What is that? Some shop that does these? It's an option I guess if I can't figure anything else out. Just a pain scheduling things in Calgary as I am only ever there on weekends.

Haha. I took it off sale a while ago. Don't think I was ready to part with it, plus not exactly easy selling a car worth that so probably keep a while and bring the price down before trying again.

No way $5000 is way too low. I would you do $5050. :D

I will look into these. I was more hoping for some DIY thing so this might be an option. The scratches kind of overlap to stitches so it will be a little tricky.

Obvious solution is to upgrade to the new seats from the competition pack.:D

I tested out those seats at the Auto show in Edmonton yesterday, and I concur. Worth upgrading for sure. :thumbsup:
