Thanks Stan. No build sheet I'm afraid and restriction to Topix is holding me back, I gave that a whirl first. Appreciate your thoughts thank you.

I matched mine through a company. God alone knows where I have put the kit and what the name was. Is this one any good?

Many thanks I've sent them a message. Think it might be the Cirrus. Appreciate the help. |

That's brilliant thank you. I tried several times today to get the decoder to work and it just timed out, tried it now and got it in seconds haha. Its Cirrus, I can clearly see that now. Thank you so very much for the advice. |

I'd recommend a Furniture Clinic kit, which I used https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leather-colourant-kit-1

I ended up with a product from fleabay (pictured) costing £20. I was a bit disappointed it didn't come with any cleaning materials or applicators for that price like some other "repair" kits and the 250ml content was certainly far too much for the small job I was doing. i was hoping it would be a good enough quality to justify the price. I'm pleased to say it was. I followed the guidance and cleaned the area (used a simple kitchen degreaser), applied some heat from a heat gun on low setting, cut up a kitchen sponge as i only needed a small piece, then dabbed the area that had all the paint worn away first. After five minutes of letting it air dry for a bit I applied heat again to dry thoroughly before another coat but even at that stage it was almost invisible to the naked eye where i had applied paint. the colour match was surprisingly seamless. I applied a second coat after heating again and this also disappeared into a perfect match. Just for good measure I covered the whole top arm to make sure there would be no distinction in differing colour tones (although I really didn't need to) dried it again as before and it looks exactly as I wanted. I'm going to give it a week to see how it holds up before covering it in a leather cleaner as advised but so far so good and I didn't even use a capful. The handle area inside needs a good clean still but I'm happy with the result so far. I cant comment on how going to black might work for you but certainly at this stage I can say the product is value for money and does exactly what you want it to do. Good luck with yours.

A bit annoying that I've had build sheets from the Dealer for JLR for years and now they don't do them. Anyway I needed leather touch up and rang the dealer's parts dept. They asked for my Reg number and told me the leather code straight away. Cirrus Gray and the Scratch Doctor product was excellent. |
