So.... can I correct the wear with a touch up pen thing or is there a better way?

I got a tub of colour matched leather dressing from ebay (where else), hid some wear and scratch damage so well only I know where it was!

I think the air cooled seats are sometimes semi aniline so the paint kits don't work as they have been top coated according to a previous post i read when i was touching up mine so worth checking what spec leather you have! Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue |

It's semi aniline as it's a Vogue SE with cooled seats....

Got the same seats in mine, were in a similar state to yours when I bought it so I got a guy to come and refinish them. They came up a treat. It's called Connolising. Cost £200 for the two fronts. Filled in all the cracks and all the bits where the colour was just coming off. Recommended. Cheers, Greg

I always use the furnitureclinic stuff, their cleaner is excellent, that should be enough to pull denim dye off.

If its just grime really ground in Have you tried a magic sponge ? The white things .... be careful as they can be VERY abrasive.
