Hey guys I have some big bad scratches on the backs of my front seats from boxes, backpacks, etc rubbing against the back of the seat. I have cleaned and conditioned the leather but I can still see the scratches.

Any idea of a way to make these scratches disappear? I know there has got to be a way.

Thanks

 

Try not scratching them...

Could not resist, sorry

Some of the scratches that I have gotten have been eliminated by good ole skin oil. Rub them with the oil from your nose, and keep conditioning with KR conditioner.

 

Nose oil Shine? Yuk!

I dunno, I've found any scratches on my seats seem to largely disappear with cleaning and conditioning. There are a few that remain to give them character though.

Wreed - I just remembered a product that was thought very highly of by a guy using the screenname Mark05KR. Here's one of the threads where he talks about it (several posts down): https://www.f150online.com/forums/ki...t-trouble.html Notice he says he can just run his finger over scuff marks now and they "blend in". Maybe it's what you are looking for.

I've started using Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner on my seats. It contains beeswax and seems to provide quite a bit of waterproofing protection to the leather - making them more resistant to stains. It also seems to blend in most of the scuff marks quite well. I think I got it at my local Tandy's Leather Factory store. It looks a lot like vaseline and feels "greasy" when applied. The leather darkens quite a bit at that point but then lightens back up when it's absorbed and "dried". It can be sort of "buffed" with a clean cloth at that point to get any excess off.

I imagine either of these products will do better than "nose oil".

I actually cleaned and conditioned a second time with Lexol and the KR conditioner and the scratches are pretty much gone.

My belt leaves a scuff mark in a certain spot of my chair and I know this sounds gross but I just lick my fingers and rub them over the mark and it disappears, I do this every other day.

Thanks guys!
