Worn leather etc
My Gray int. is starting to look worn where I slide into the car. You know along the outer edges of the seat and back. Can this be re died? I clean & condition but I need to get the color back in the worn spots. Sheep skins only cover the issue. Or is new my only option if I want to see the leather.

Leather Dye
Leatherique requires that you send a 1”x1” swatch of leather, fabric, paint chip or other material of your choice to colour match the dye. Their toll free number 1 877 395-3366, and their website
Preventative- maintain and protect new upholstery leather with the application of a leather glaze (Leatherique “Original” Klear Kote, or Swissol Leather Glaze) so that the signs of wear can be drastically reduced Provides extra UVR protection against fading for convertibles, newly dyed leather and the dashboard, for use on leather, vinyl, MB-TEX and hard plastic trim.
Use where the leather receives the most noticeable wear, like the driver’s seat and other high wear areas, like the steering wheel, arm rests, driver’s bolsters and door panels, for the driver’s seat where the leather receives the most noticeable wear and should be protected.
