It's called Swissvax Leather Healer.
This product is specially mixed to match the exact color of the factory leather at the swissvax factory. Each bottle takes 3-4 weeks to receive from Switzerland. We applied it to the Coral red Boston leather found in this BMW 135i we recently detailed. Full Detail Writeup: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=563231 The application process is pretty simple, and leaves the seats looking new! See for yourself... Products Used: Swissvax Leather Cleaner Swissvax Leather Brush Swissvax Leather Grinding Pad Swissvax Leather Healer Swissvax Leather Glaze (Leather Sealant) Here's how the seat looked before: First we cleaned the surface to be treated and grinded the frayed leather using the grinding pad. then applied the Leather Healer. We ended up applying about 5 coats with about 30 min between each coat. And the finished result! Thanks for looking! Dom |

looks really good, definitely would consider this.
my only question is does it leak / leave marks on clothes? weve cleaned leather couches in our place before and for about a week it would leave markings on clothes for people who sat in it |

Looks awesome, afraid to ask how much the leather healer is though!
I searched online and looks like about $90 + $30 for custom colors. Oddly it came up on www.deutschnine.com which is in Switzerland and it is only $23 euro - guess shipping is $50 to get it over here it seems!

It dries rather fast, and we applied a coat of Swissvax Leather Glaze following the dye to prevent this.

Great color match and thanks for posting up!
But, it looks like the grinding process takes down the leather grain to a flat surface- is this correct? This makes the repaired surface stand out a little bit, although less than damaged leather I suppose! |
