Tire shop scuffed my seats...

AnthonyT · 09-04-2014, 08:17 PM

I had my tire plugged today because I ran over a nail. I noticed they scuffed/scrapped my seat. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? They already said bring it down and they'll see what they can do to fix it but if I can fix it myself I'd rather do that and save myself a trip and time. Thanks!

Just give it a wipe with some leather cleaner (unless you have the leatherette like I do). I'm sure it'll wipe off.It sucks but I'm sure it wasn't deliberate. Not everyone is as careful with our cars like we are.

I'm going to get some leather wipes in a bit and hopefully that takes care of it. But it's more of a scrape. So idk. -__-

I scuffed up my side bolster a bit with the stupid plastic buttons on the back of my shorts the other day, and I'm none too happy about it...right by the stitching too

I had a bit of that on my 07 e90. Got a decent leather dye, cleaned the area with a good leather cleaner (opens poors up and removed dirt), dabbed a bit and eased it in, let it dry and then hit the whole thing with a conditioner, good as new. A lot of this will come out with a clean/condition but sometimes the scuffs go too deep and require a little more love.

+1 leather cleaner works great with minor scuffs

If leather cleaner/conditioner doesn't work, leather dye will definitely do the trick.

Thanks for the info! I got leather cleaner. I decided to wash my car and only got to wash the exterior. Then it got dark. I'm going to do the interior tomorrow and I'll post a sitrep!

Zymol cleaner will do it.

doesnt' look deep, a good leather cleaner should get it.

Tried it on my own didn't work. The shop is going to have my car detailed. Hopefully they keep their word.
