Leather Repair in Socal

The driver seat in my BMW M5 is in need of some attention. Caramel is not as durable as other colors . Anyone here specialize in redyeing leather? I am in the San Gabriel Valley.

Re: Leather Repair in Socal

What exactly is wrong with it? It's hard, cracked, or fading?

It's most likely something that requires a very specific recoloration/crack filler, which you can do yourself by cutting out a small square from some unnoticeable spot and sending it into Leatherique I believe, and they will match it for you, and send you crack filler, rejuvenator oil, and dye specifically for your seats.

If you want it to last, then I wouldn't use Leatherique. Do you want to DIY? If not, then give Doug Snow a call. He has been doing leather repair for 25 years.

Re: Leather Repair in Socal

Thanks for the replies. The leather is in great condition, it's just the dye that is coming off. I tried redying with Leatherique and the passenger side came out great, color is a little lighter than OEM, but the driver side is already starting to peel.
