Default How to repair a "scuff" on my leather seat?

I had posted this in the general forum, but then realized it may be better suited here...

I just noticed yesterday that I have a small scuff on my passenger seat. I have a Suzuka S, and now my blue leather seat has a brown scuff. Anybody know if there is something I can do to hide it? It's small enough that if I could just color it blue with some sort of marker, it'd be practically invisible. I didn't know if anybody had tried that, or if there is a product made specifically for this problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

Yeah, the top layer has been cut through, so what is exposed is the unstained, tan colored leather underneath.

What cut into it, the leather beneath should not be tan...so I am thinking it is probably somthing on the surface...that is unless Honda cheaped out on their Suzuka leather.

I don't know, I just noticed it the other day. If you are saying the leather should be blue all the way through, then I need to take a closer look, maybe it is something on the surface, but it sure does look like a scuff...

I'll post an update.

The leather should have a blue finish on the surface, then the fibers themselves should be dyed blue, so yes it should be blue all the way through. Can you get me a digital pic, if so I could probably help in a better way, but even if not then just take another look.
