Leather Touch Up., need a little help

I guess getting in and out of the car the side bolster of my seat has a few small scratches and a small snag, not sure if its from wearing a belt or not but I'm always care getting in and not just jumping into the seat. No tears so is there a touch up to hide the small marks and no I'm not buying seat covers, thats why I have the Prem with the 401A upgrade.
thanks...

I had the same problem with my wife's '13 V6 Premium. I bought a bottle of dye collorant from Leather World ( http://www.leatherworldtech.com/ ) and it matched the black leather in the car perfectly. I used small touch up applicators from Griots Garage ( http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...ks&from=Search) to apply and rubbed it off the scratch almost immediately with a soft cloth. The scratch disappeared.

Leather seats are like a v*gina as long you keep it moist it won't tear or crease

What do you guys recommend for leather care? I just got a '13 premium and would like to keep my leather in good condition. I really don't want something that will make it grabby on clothes though. I always remember when my dad would treat his leather it would still feel "tacky" and not very slick.

My fix today was a Microfiber rag and some black shoe polish paste from a can and that did the trick, in the morning ill go out and get another bottle of leather care for the seats and get them seats wiped down.

LEXOL, hands down.

Been using it on BMW seats for years, and use it on the Mustang's leather. Always kept the leather soft, and the side bolsters free of any wear. I apply it with my hands, then use a towel after 10 or 15 minutes to wipe off any residual.

I almost used Lexol from my saddle stuff. But its like 15 years old and I was hesitant to use it on my seats. I don't know if it gets old or not.

I have used the Meguiar's leather care and it worked nice. But guess I'm gonna have to get a new bottle of Lexol and try it. Always liked it with my saddles.
