Scratch Doctor Leather Colour Restorer Recolouring Balm Repair Treatment for Faded & Worn Absorbent Leather Furniture, Sofas, Chairs (Black, 50ml)

Amazing product and exellent value for money. I used this on a heavily scuffed/scratched leather coat and I had very low expectations given the extent of the damage and age of the coat, but this has totally covered the damage - you can't tell it ever was damaged! It only took one application (super easy to use) and theres still loads left after covering an entire 4XL trench coat! I couldn't be happier with this and would very highly recommend. Before and after pics don't do it justice (due to light reflecting) but it looks brand new! (I have done some sewing alterations since using the product it, hence it looking slightly different shape in full pic - and it didn't transfer or rub off whilst sewing!)

I used the 'Light Grey' shade to slightly change a 'crazy horse' leather bag from a warm taupe grey to a more cool, steel grey. The picture shows my test piece although my camera doesn't capture the colour very well as the contrast is not as pronounced as this in real life. The top is the results of two thin coats and the bottom the original colour of the bag. However, the instructions could be improved although perhaps the problems were the leather I had. I found that I needed to: 1) work in small sections at a time, about the size of my hand. 2) NOT, as the instructions advise, leave it for 5 minutes and then buff off. I tried this and the product just started drying immediately and looking like paint with obvious swirls on the surface of the leather. I had to scrub it off with warm water and start again and at that stage I was worried I'd ruined my bag. I discovered that as soon as it touches the leather it starts to absorb and dye so INSTEAD 3) Wipe on a very thin layer and start buffing it away immediately, keep moving a microfibre cloth in circles until it is all buffed away - it will leave a thin coat of colour in the leather and no swirl marks 4) Be prepared to do another coat the next day (as the instructions mention). The result is a low sheen and a definite change in colour so overall I'm very pleased with the result of two coats but deducting a star for the stress and gap in the instructions.

This is amazing stuff its completely restored my Honda mk8 steering wheel with little effort.half of it was showing grey leather aganst the original black... looked bad. First it I rubbed it down dry with 350 grit abrasive pad to get any loose original black off and key all of it, then wiped with washing up liquid and water to degrease it ,then wiped it clean with plain water and allowed it to dry. Then I just applied a small amount of product with a rag and rubbed it in,I repeated this several times to make sure there was enough on it. Allowed to dry overnight buffed with a clean rag and the result is amazing, like a new black wheel no grey showing at all...... looks the same as original finish with little effort. I forgot to photograph it first ,but be assured it does look like new... NOTE it only works on leather as it must be absorbed and allowed to dry,not for plastic.....it hasnt come off at all

Jar was leaking

I have to say I was very sceptical about this. Our sofa is not massively old but the leather has worn away dreadfully. I thought I would give this a go and cannot believe the results. Sofa looks new. The patches/scratches are covered. So easy to use, so cheap and worth every penny. I cannot recommend enough.

The leather on my steering wheel was getting bad, I assumed it was dirt so I started to clean it vigorously, I realised it was not dirt and I may have made the situation more worse. As can be seen in the first 3 pictures. I bought this product following good reviews but not many for steering wheels, but took a punt anyways, I was sure this wouldn’t make my wheel any worse. Make sure you have latex gloves before using, 2 micro fibre cloths. Wrap one cloth around your finger and dab into the product and use circular motions to apply on affected areas, make sure you don’t leave any excess thick spots after applying because when it drys it’s a pain to buff, so always fan out the excess and blend it in to give you an even layer without leaving heavy spots. With the second cloth I found it easier to make it into a ball or fold it many times to make it thicker, this makes more of a cushion and ensures even gentle pressure while buffing away excess, again buff in a circular motion after 5 mins. The last picture is after 2 coats and I think 1 more coat will finish the job. This is purely because some areas were deeper than others and it’s much better to gradually build up rather than applying too much in one go. I also used it to blacken the stitches as can be seen before and after pictures and it definitely makes the steering wheel look a lot better. All in I would say this is a great product, does the job and will have my steering wheel looking brand new after the 3rd coat. Great value for money, the consistency is relatively thick and even after 2 coats I’ve only used the excess on the lid so this product will last a while. Lastly there is no smell to this product which is a bonus. 10/10

I took the lid off and the green liquid spilt everywhere. All over the carpet and me. This product should not be in a shoepolish type tin. It should be in a bottle. What i managed to salvage i used on a green leather topped desk. It made not one bit of difference. I would have returned it but tgere was green luquid all over the ti and me so i just threw it in the bin. There was a note on the tin to open wire care as contents vould spill but this should NOT have been in a tin at all

Good product
