Default Leather Help!

Just brought my o1 home today and noticed as I was taking delivery that there was a faded spot on pass. side seat. Looks like some Einstein tried using a solvent to clean a small spot. Is this something I can repair with dye or should a pro do it? I'm not afraid to give it a try if there is no special process involved...thanks....Jim

Try a good leather cleaner first.

Agreed with JLA, try some Lexol or saddle soap and conditioner and see how that goes.

You can get spray on dye from VHT if you want to give it a go yourself.

Might be worth a trip to a shop that does interiors though. Never know, might not cost much to have someone experienced do it.
