Hopefully you guys can help! I have a 2010 Silver Maxima with the Tech and Premium packages. I believe the Premium package has the upgraded leather. Anyway..I had someone get into my passenger seat and whatever they were wearing scratched the side lumbar portion of the upper seat back. The leather is charcoal gray. The scratches aren't deep where it sliced the leather but nonetheless it's certainly noticeable. Does anyone know if there is a product that you can buy that will fill and dye the leather back to normal? I live in the Philadelphia suburbs so if there is not a product on the market, does anyone know of a good leather repair shop? I really appreciate any help and feedback you can provide!!

 

It is hard to judge the damage without a photo, but Leatherique is something you may want to look into.

 

Hopefully you guys can help here! I have a 2010 Silver Maxima with the Premium Package that has charcoal gray leather interior. The other day someone entered the passenger side of my car and whatever they were wearing scratched the upper lumbar section of the seat. The scratches are not deep or sliced through the leather but nonetheless it is certainly noticeable. Does anyone know if there is a product on the market where it can repair the scratches and or dye the leather? If not, I live in the Philadelphia, PA suburbs, does anyone know of a good repair shop to repair the damage?

I fixed my girlfriends camry leather seats. What you describe is very fixable.
You will #2 from the below page

and you will need a can of the SEM aerosols below

You will also need something like this which you may have at home. Its for the application of #2 compound. You can't just apply it with your finger or a knife.

N2 will cover the scratch perfectly so it is not detectable when you run your finger through it. Thats the good news. The bad news is that matching the gray color without those instruments for color matching is damn near impossible. You can get the color code for the outside paint, but not for the seats. You can call those guys from this website and ask them to recommend the closest gray. Some of those are premade to match exactly your car, but they don't have it for nissans.

All in all, you the rest of your interior is in top shape, I recommend going to a professional shop for the fix. Only they can make it invisible. I fixed some terrible cuts to the extent that you can't feel where the cut was when you run your finger, but the painting was never a match even though I tried a lot of things. It was still satisfactory on her 99 camry, but on your maxima.. you decide.

 

Good info for this. I'll definitely have to keep this handy just in case I encounter that. I get in and get out of the car so much and sometimes don't pay attention and buttons on my back pocket clip the seats.

 

Thanks guys. I stopped by a detailer shop and he told me that they would dye the leather where it is damaged. I feel more comfortable taking it to a professional where they work on high end cars.

 

before and after pics would be nice..

 

Before and After Pics. Not all that happy with the results but better than when I dropped the car off.
