Swissvax Leather Repair thingy?
Anybody tried this? I just ordered a car/interior color specific bottle that cost me an arm and a leg + shipping, and I am curious whether it'll work on a few small seat scratches. It damn well better!

Pigmentation (Colour) Replacement - Certain areas of your vehicles leather interior like seats, upholstery, side mouldings and steering wheels inevitably start to show signs of wear, even if well taken care of, that spoil its overall impression. Often these imperfections are not serious and are simply colour that has worn off or light scratches in the leather surface which can be removed and will disappear with the right application *technique and leather pigmentation. Swisswax Leather Refurbishing Pigmentation or Leather Thingy to give its technical name
* Application
1. Clean surface with a leather cleaner (Leather Masters™ Strong Effect Cleaner ) or a Limonen (citrus) based de-greaser (P21S Total Auto Wash) diluted 5:1 with warm distilled water in a spray bottle; dependant upon type and extent of soil or stain
2. Then use a safe solvent cleaner to remove oils etc ( Leather Masters™ Leather Degreaser ) this aerosol product is ideal as it dissolves the oils and transforms them into a powder that is more absorbent than the leather. This powder is what is wiped off, cleaning and degreasing the leather. Allow the white powder to dry fully. If the powder is drying to a yellow colour, it means that there are still a lot of oils in the leather.
Using a Medium / hard horse hair brush, or a soft sponge, spray and work the cleaner into a foam, lightly scrub surface and immediately wipe with a terry towel to remove excess moisture, especially around stitching (you may need to repeat this process).
3. Then use a compressed air nozzle to dry
4. Apply colurant with a sponge using very little pressure (light coats are preferable to one heavy application)

Thanks guys! And wow, you sure weren't kidding! Had some time this weekend and went over the interior with a bunch of your products, from cleaners to healers and correctors and the most impressive thing was the Gloss Corrector.
The leather on the steering wheel of newish VAG cars are terrible and become like mirrors when they're only a few years old. Check out 10K mile Gallardos - their steering wheels look like they've done about a million miles. A few wipes with the gloss corrector and it's literally as new. Amazing.
