Hi guys,



I am buying a used M3, but the drivers/passenger seat leather has signs of `rash`.. The leather has been rubbed by getting in and out of the car and now has worn a bit and looks white where it should be black. This is on the edges of the seats.



Anyways, I am wondering what the best way to repair this is myself? I have heard of Leatherique but I`m not 100% on its use or if it`s what I should be using. Also, if anybody knows the M3.... can I just order `black` dye or do I need a custom color?



Much obliged for as much help as you can give.



Thanks!

I would definitely check out leatherique (http://www.leatherique.com/). You can send them a sample of your seat and they can match it.

a dye will just make it less noticeable.



for proper repair you need to fill the rash, clone the grain, and dye it.



Call a professional interior repair company, there are many of them out there

If the offer is open to others, I would love to send you some pictures of my Mustang seats and get your opinion if they can be saved and what to expect to pay to have it done.
