scratch repairs on black leather seating.. any tips folks??

I've noticed that my interior isn't a s nice as i'd like as there are light scratches on the leather in a number of places and a patch where the sheen seems to have faded of on the bolster of drivers seat.
I was wondering if anyone has any tricks.. shoe polish etc sort of thing, for refreshing the leather and putting these lighter coloured scratches back to something a little less noticeable. Get some softness and colour back before it all gets worse.

Thanks in advance

Anyone found the door bins on the L494 to be are very easily marked and scuffed with daily use? Mine are marked and I am very careful, they are made of cheap plastic material

TRG Leather renovator. It’s a thick liquid, apply with a small sponge on a cool day and work into the leather, especially where your have a few light scratches. After it has dried, buff with a micro fibre cloth. The colour although doesn’t remove a scratch, it blends it in with the dye.
Fantastic stuff it is, ive tried all manner of leather cleaners etc and this has been by far the best.

I don’t doubt you that it’s a good product

What are your thoughts on the reviews which claim it comes straight off the leather 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

Thanks

I bought some on Fleabay recently for Ivory leather for some damage on my rear seat (daughter had spilled nail varnish remover about a year ago and it left a mark that looked like it was wet).
It was really easy to apply and completely matched my colour. I think it was £30 for enough to do a full interior.
I even did the luggage space cover as I bought a second hand one a few years ago that was beige/brown and it worked perfectly.
I can't promote them here but if you search Range Rover Leather Seat Repair Dye,Evoque,Vogue,Sport,Discovery,TDV6.you will find it. They're based in Staffordshire.
Hope that helps, the below photo is afterwards, sorry I didn't take one of the damage before.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Not what I found, but I guess if you were to just put a coat of this stuff on your seats then buff it off, without spending time working it in then it could happen. It lasts much longer than any other product I’ve used, the seats have a very nice deep black sheen to them. I’m finding, once every six months is enough to keep them looking mint.

So follow up question on the black polish..... Will it stain white clothing?
