Fixing Up Scratched Leather with Colourlock Leather Fresh Dye

Kind of a follow up to the Colourlock leather care video; this time we're doing some BMW Merino leather repair with Colourlock's Leather Fresh kit on my F80 M3.
If you saw the leather cleaning video, I noted some damage to a small spot on the door arm rest that has bugged me since I got my car 3 years ago. Well, I finally fixed it thanks to a heads up on this product from a viewer (thanks @drifter2090!).
In short, this stuff is unbelievably good. Like, Dr. ColorChip good (maybe better) in the leather world.
As always, if you're doing this, make sure to verify your leather is compatible with the kit and check out their instructions for a proper application. Lots of great videos on their channel: ‪@lederzentrum‬
As for the video, I probably made this longer than it needed to be but sometimes I feel like I cut too much for the sake of flow, which I suppose is a good thing, generally, but I tried to leave some breathing room in this one. Let me know what you think - I always love feedback.
Thanks for watching!

Colourlock needs to get this man an affiliate link asap! Good stuff as always

[@jgo.m3]

See now that'd be cool. Thanks for checking it out brother 🙏

[@M4csdtn]

Love the video can you do one for the side bolsters on the leather seats

[@jgo.m3]

Thank you! Funny you say that.. I think there's a section at the end I accidentally cut where I mentioned that I was also going to do the door handle which is kind of worn. Might do a follow up before/after with that and maybe the bolsters. Thanks for the suggestion!
