Right, I'm in a foul mood right now.

 

Just got home and noticed that on the back seats of my car there is a horrible mark on them on the middle seat - it looks like a ring or something sharp has dug into them and there's a 12 inch jagged cut in them.

 

It's clearly visible, and it's on grey leather. The rest of the interior is immaculate, so it really stands out like a sore thumb.

 

I'm always cleaning the car and take great care of it, but I'm really p*ssed off with this.

 

Am I stuck with this rip or is there something out there I can use to fix it?

 

P.S. This is in my beemer, not on the Escort seats I have for sale!

dunno if theres anything YOU can do but there are somemobile repairers that could sort it out.

 

scratchrite and trim technique are 2 which I can think of...

You might have seen my other thread on this, well here's the damage.

 

Can anyone recommend any products I could use to fix it, or do you think I need to hire a professional?

I've posted in the Cosmetics section now, and added pictures.

 

If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated!

 

Clicky

is the black a mark or the leather underneath material?

 

im guessing you have tried giving it a clean etc etc

take it to a specialist as the can sort that no problem! i believe they trim the jagged bits off and use a special latex paint

How much do you reckon it'll be?

 

Got a guy coming out this afternoon to give me a quote. No idea how much to look out for!

for something like that its a small scratch. hmmm probably 40 - 50 quid if his price is right
guess you and the missus had a good nite last night :D

Spot on fella.

 

He told me that he would do the back seats for 40 quid, but also said he usually does the front bolsters for 60 quid (is it a bit worn), so he'd do both the back and front for £95.

 

Any thoughts?

 

I was contemplating trying to fix it myself but I suppose the gear I'd need to get would cost around the same anyway!

for the price that he is doing it for i wouldn't argue i would just let him do it. i know it sounds daft but if i done it to my car and made a mistake it would really bug me and then i would need to pay someone to do it for me.

True enough.

 

He's outside doing it now anyway, let's hope he does a good job!
