That surprises me about the coloured balm too.

I’ve also used Gliptone Scuffmaster with excellent results, albeit only on LR semi aniline leather. The colour match on ivory, black & pimento has been very good in my experience.

Thanks gents, Bridge of Weir leather range me, confirmed they did produce the leather for the particular model car and that it did have a protective coating on but he wouldn't say what that coating was... |

Well, less than 48 hours ago, posted a leather sample to Furniture Clinic’s main office and this morning they returned the sample along with these two products (leather alcohol cleaner and colour coded leather repair paint). Great service. Let’s hope they do the job 👍🏻

I've used that kit before with good results.

Thanks Kev, I did a colour test this afternoon and the colour match seemed spot on but I can’t find a ‘how to’ video for the two stage wipe it with alcohol cleaner and dab a sponge with dye and dab the leather before using a hairdryer… I take it you’re meant to dab/ dye a whole panel/ section as opposed to just cleaning and dab dying the scratched/ affected area? |

'Leather Repair Paint' is the new name for 'Self Seal Colourant'. It's exactly the same stuff, just a rebrand on the product name. in this video, the chap uses the Self Seal Colourant and sponges it on. This is exactly what I did when I used the Self Seal Colourant and it turned out good, albeit with a bit of a rough texture, as opposed to being silky smooth.
