Default Scratched leather seat :(

I just noticed today a pretty long, but not deep scratch on my passenger side seat. Does anyone know of any products or ways to fix a scratch on leather? I dont want it to get worse over time, my car isnt even a year old yet. Any help is much appreciated.

Quite sorry to hear about the scratch. Do you have pix?

I do not know of any product that fixes a scratch but you may be able to use a leather conditioner to hide it so it is less observable.

i've been using meguir's leather care and it hides scuffs pretty well. no idea what to do about scratches, as i've got a nasty one on MY passenger seat as well! I've really got to watch who's leaving the scratches. I've a feeling it's girls and their fancy purses.

on older cars, leatherique works pretty well, but it takes a LOT of patience and a LOT of experience to get it just right, otherwise it just looks like coloured glue.

I had a buckle on my leather jacket that scratched a leather seat bad. I hated it that jacket ever since.

I got a leather sofa that came with cuts in the leather probably from the goof balls that delivered it and cut the plastic off of it in the van before bringing it in the house. The store sent a guy to repair it and you can not see where the problems were. So maybe look for a furniture repair guy...
