2016 Range Rover Vogue TDV6 Santorini Black

Leather restoration

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my experience with sorting out the wear to the leather on the driver’s seat bolsters. It was annoying me that the side and seat base bolsters were looking quite worn and especially as the remainder of the interior is like new so I thought I would have a go at using some leather refurbishment ‘paint’.

I found this on eBay:

I was slightly wary as to how good it could be and if it would be an exact match. I ordered the Land Rover Black from them as they claim it is a correct colour match.

So being a nice warm sunny day I had a go. I used a micro fibre cloth and applied 4 coats leaving about an hour between each coat.

Well, it is like magic! Completely restored all the worn bolster area and looks like new. Perfect colour match too.

I have no connection in any way to the product, just thought I would share my good experience in case anyone else found it helpful.

Annoyingly I never took any before and after photos!

Forgot to say….

The only prep I did was wipe down the leather with some IPA to clean off any dirt/wax etc before applying the colour.

Sadly no before photo's but you can imagine the usual wear to the bolsters. Here's the after photos:

I used the same product on the L405 Cirrus grey seats and was very pleased with the results. I bought some ivory off Ebay for my XK8 thinking it was Scratch Doctor but it turned out to be a different product and not nearly as good. Waiting for the proper stuff to arrive now.
