Leather scuff.... Arrghhh
Discussion
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

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
The same happen to me, stud on a pair of jeans scratched the leather seat bolster and it annoyed me everytime I got in. I bought this

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.
