Hi all, looking for some advice on products to use on my seats. They are black and blue leather, the black is fairly simple but wondered if anyone has found a product that matches the blue colour well. They are not bad at all just starting to show their age and want to spruce them up a bit. Thanks in advance!

I used Scuffmaster leather dye on my Oregon Beige seats, had to send them a thumbnail size sample of my leather cut from underneath the seat to let them match the colour. I also used their gentle cleaner before putting the dye on. Perfect match was the result.

Thank you colb, I will have a look at the link. I’m just worried about using a colour that hasn’t been matched as the results could be appalling!!

Furniture clinic products are used by professional restorers and are excellent, they do the Topaz blue off the shelf but it is slightly darker, I did these

Wow they look great sean d, I suppose if I was to cover all of the blue section with the topaz that could work, any idea what the colour name is for the blue on my seats? I will have a look at furniture clinics too. Thank you for the suggestions

Not 100% but I think the only blue that BMW used for interior was called Topaz blue

Looks like topaz, enter the last 7 characters of the cars VIN here https://decoder.bvzine.com/ and it will tell you the interior upholstery colour

Thanks both, maybe the topaz from furniture clinic will do the job. Il have a check on that web site. Thanks Braz86. Just don’t want to colour the seats then have to re colour the door cards and the gear stick and hand break covers to match.
