Scuffed Driver Seat

Hey guys, on my drivers seat there are scuff marks and some of the color has worn off of the leather...it is the part that sticks out closest to the door, it has just been rubbed and scratched, what is the best way to fix this??

Try www.leatherique.com. I have used their leather dyes on my MB's, my daughter's BMW, and leather sofa in our family room. From my experience it has been very good. Look at their web site or better yet give them a call.

It is around 1300 dollars to buy a new leather cover from MB. It takes two weeks as they sew them in Germany and ship it over. One option is to take it to a local auto upholstery shop and have them paint it. That should cost 400. Good luck!

The cost of the dye is about $50, will take about 15 minutes to do and will probably turn out better than the local shop.
