Does anyone know of a product that can help to "fill in the cracks" you get on the seat bolsters?

I currently use Gliptone GT12 Leather Cleaner and Gliptone GT13.5 Leather Conditioner to clean and protect my leather but neither of these can help with damage.

Here's a photo to give you an idea of the cracking on my drivers side bolster.

I seem to remember a stall at the Goodwood FOS last year that had a selection of dyes available for re colouring damaged leather.
Black shoe dye might be a starting point and stop wearing a jacket with sharp buttons or rivets on it Jamie
If you have a friendly shoe repairers nearby they might give you some advice on refinishing leather.

I have tried some shoe dye before on the passenger side but the colour didn't match very well, and tbh I made it look worse if I'm honest

Cheers for the Rich. Looks like they do colour matching as well

Jamie, there was a GB on a restoration kit no more than two years ago. Do a quick search. I found it pretty effective at reducing the cracks as well as being an excellent colour match.

Pick up a copy of clasic car the back pages are full of this kind of thing, if i remember right one of the best is from connoly, if you can tart up a 50 year old jags leather seats the S should be no problem

That to me looks like scratches from the rivit things off jeans.. i used to catch mine a treat with mine.

if your clever - take the seat out and swap the drivers side with the passenger - you need to peel off the leather and swap them over - bit of truoble but worth it ! as the left side of the seat never gets any wear, and you dont notice it either !

Just found this thread

I'm impressed with the results kris got , so I think I might give them a try.
