Dash scratch & Recaro Seat scratch

[EmperorBlazer]

Any realistic way of repairing these? I guess I gotta keep a closer eye on my passengers since they apparently love carrying semi sharp objects. Maybe its time to place a seat protector on the passenger side, I dunno.

Unfortunately I don’t have a solution for you. That’s rough though. We’d have to sit down and talk about our friendship if one of my “friends” gouged my seat up like that

I had a bad scratch on my steering wheel. I used 3000 "sandpaper" (it's more like a spongy fabric) by 3M to take down the "burrs", then hit it with black shoe cream. Use shoe cream, not polish.

They make leather repair kits. It's literally leather "Filler" that you put on the scratch, build it up, sand it smooth and then color it to match.

+1. That's the way to go it.

That looks like a good idea, thanks! For the dash I'll try the grit and black shoe cream idea that Ronster did.

It's like paint - the devil is in the details (Prep). I used to work with a guy who did mobile detailing on the weekend and he offered repairs on seats / interior. He made a KILLING.

For the glove box door, I’d just source another on eBay and replace it - easy repair.

The leather, well it looks like that “scratch” is more of a cut that went pretty deep beyond the initial layer. I don’t think it can be repaired or made to go away. Again you could skrice another seat cover off eBay and just replace it.

After doing the above, no more passengers.
