After 16 years, and 75,000 miles, my seat bolster on the driver's side is beginning to show wear. The bolster is not wearing thin, but it is beginning to "scuff" the color off.
Does somebody make a color correct product/dye that I can apply to the bolster to take care of the problem? I've always prided myself in the care that I take to keep the leather soft/supple/conditioned, and it's kind of disheartening to see that spot, every time I get in the car.
If anybody has any info on where to find a good product, I would greatly appreciate the heads up! Thank You

Larry - I had the same problem with a '90 I bought last Sept. Beautiful example of a well cared for C4. Saddle Leather interior looked brand new except for an abraded place in the leather on the driver's seat side bolster, about the size of a nickel. Bothered me to death because I'm a bit **** retentive when it comes to vette cosmetics. So I ordered a saddle interior leather dye from Corvette Central in an aerosol can ($15.95). I sprayed the dye into the cap of the spray can and dabbed it on the abrasion using a foam applicator (a women's makeup tool - it's like a Q-tip with foam on the end instead of cotton), hoping to simulate the grain of the leather. If you didn't know that the abrasion was there to begin with, you'd never know it was there if you looked at it today. Just an option for you. Hope this helps.
