Center Console leather...arghh

So, I rubbed a little too hard when cleaning the leather trim around my E500, the color on the leather chaffed off a bit.. sucks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for repair? I came across some dye sprays that seem like might work..

Thanks

Easy. Go to www.leatherique.com and order matching leather dye for your color. Just rub some new dye on when it arrives.

I assume this will work on the leather shifter boot as well?

In theory, yes. But remember that the shifter boot flexes a lot, so the dye might not stay on all that long, compared to something that doesn't flex, such as the console.
