Hey All,

My car has less than 2k miles on it and has some minor tears in the leather

Freaking sadface, right?

Well, I'd like to fix it if I can. The tears don't go all the way through so they are more like deep scuffs I suppose.

When I put leather stuff on I could barely make out where the damage was but once it dried, it looked just like before I put it on.

Anyone know what to do for this?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, how often should I use leather stuff on the seats?

Thanks again

Anyone?

I've heard once every 1-2 weeks. I just started using Meguiars this week...

You can go to your detailer and they can have a leather guy come out and fix the tears. Its more like a patch fix, but I would do it to insure it does not keep tearing. They do a good job, and you have to get really close to see where it was repaired.

You can also find one on your own if you look around a bit.

Cool, thanks!

I don't have a detailer, I've been doing it myself and learning as I go

Yeah, you can get a leather repair guy. Something like this: http://www.leathermedic.com/lm_automotive.html

I had a bottle of degreaser leak on the passenger seat of my 323i a number of years ago and it took off the surface texture of the leather. I had a guy come out an he kind of airbrushed the color and texture on the seat. It was less than $100, IIRC.

Edit: Better yet, here's one in your area: http://www.denttime.com/auto-leather-repair.htm

My bad guys. I meant dealership not detailer. Sure you can hit up a detailer and they can point you in the right direction, but you can also tell your dealership and they can have someone come while your car is in for service.
