How to Remove Scratches from Leather Seats

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Seat

First, apply a leather care cream to the seat, particularly in the area affected by scratches. This process will soften the leather for better workability. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then dry the area. Next, apply a second product, the "Leather Cleaner". A small nail file may be useful for removing any dirt smudges. Then dry the affected area with a clean cloth. The final step is to apply a dye to the leather scratches, which will match the underlying colour and fill in the small openings of the scratch. The last product to apply is a polishing finish. Repeat the process if the first application does not yield satisfactory results. Done!
