Scratch Doctor Leather Filler Repair Compound Fill Holes Cracks Scratches Scuffs on Leather Furniture Car Seats Shoes and Bags (Ivory, 10ml)

I had an expensive pair of winter boots with horrible PU faux leather coating which after only three wears had started to peel off making them look awful and not weatherproof at all, unfortunately I still really liked the original look of them and grudged that if paid a lot for what I thought were good boots and thought I might be able to rescue them. I stripped the PU coating off with my dremel and a semi round stone attachment, I found sanding ones too abrasive. I used a brush to apply first and second layer then allowed it to dry overnight. Once dry I wanted some leather texture so next layer I used a brush to put blobs on then flat make up sponge to dab it evenly. Once dry I did a very light sand with 800 grit wet and dry(used dry) followed by application of kiwi express black cream polish. My boots now look fantastic and if I saw them in a shop I would totally buy them, most importantly they are now weatherproof as they should have been. I'm really pleased with the results, would definitely recommend this product but I will stress you do have to be patient to get the results. I have attached photos once I stripped the coating and when I finished recoat and polish.

The product does what it says. I bought this to repair the split leather on my steering wheel.It was easily applied using the supplied wooden coffee stirrer, and easy to fill and smoother off after as instructed to good effect.The only down side is the product life... meaning once opened it won't last, so if I have another repair to make I'd need to buy another tin.Overall, great product.

Didn’t realise it was going to be so small. Repairs small dots but big scuff won’t cover.

Used Autoglym leather cleaner first and later neutralised with water. Then a thin metal spatula (like that used for opening mobile phone cases) to spread filler sparingly across the grain of crack in a leather car seat. Cleared off as much as possible while carefully making sure there was enough of the filler left in the crack to build it up. Wait for hardening, then buff. Repeat as necessary using very thin layers. Keep the filler as close to the area as possible with as little spreading beyond the cracked area as possible.Use Furniture Clinic recolouring balm and spatula to apply colour quite thickly, then use a white cotton cloth to spread the recolouring gel across a wider area. Work on one specific area at a time. Wait a few minutes before buffing with a microfibre cloth. Leave for a couple of hours and reapply if necessary.Areas where the filler has been used may show a slight grey discolouration (from black) even after a couple of treatments. Wait about ten minutes after colour re-application, buff and then leave for a few hours. Use a clean microfibre cloth to buff and make sure no colour is coming off.Then apply leather care balm area by area using a microfibre cloth. This will also lift some of the colour onto the cloth, buff again after a few minutes and check for colour fastness. It might be sensible to not wear white clothes till the surface becomes colourfast.Overall, the combination of Autoglym leather cleaner, Scratch Doctor filler, Furniture Clinic recolouring balm and Autoglym Leather care balm worked well on black leather car seats. Very good at filling in nicks and minor scuffs. For any tears, use Bostick rubberised superglue to 're-lay' before applying filler and other treatments. Plenty of videos on the internet to guide on more complicated repairs. The best finish can only be achieved by fine (eg 1200 grit) sanding, rigorous time-consuming preparation and spraying the leather to restore the original. This is something of a specialist art.While this combination of products is quite expensive (and others were not tried) the results are more than acceptable on 18 year old black grained leather seats.

Never again! Only writing this to tell you what NOT to do as I made a total balls up when using this on a pair of boots and, if you do the same, how I eventually managed to fix it. Firstly, the instructions tell you to use a wooden stick to put this on in thin layers...I knew better and used a small paint brush (for the bend cracks in country boots)...dried it off with a hair dryer (as instructed)...eek...dull coloured grey/brown streaks that wouldn't buff up or polish up to match the natural shine of the original boot...just awful. Tried to use soap and water to remove...no...nail varnish remover...nope...turps...not budging! The only way I managed to get most of it off was to reappy another layer in circular motions (small patches at a time) and use a cloth to quickly rub as hard as I could. It worked to remove the majority and, not sure if I am imagining things or if I am just relieved that I now how a wearable boots again, but I think it might have made the boot coverage slightly improved??????...hence at least one star. Good luck!

Works well smaller than thought

Its tiny and I had to pay for delivery and then pay again to return it as its so tiny as to not to be any use to me - that was almost as much as the cost of the product - it does only last 3 months once you open it

Scratch Dr, leather filler repair, easy to apply

OttimoProdotto per riparare piccoli danni.Effetto stucco.

Difficult to match colour and apply filler to an upight area.

Couleur non conforme à la description reçu un rose en lieux et place du rouge donc produit inutilisable !

Werkt goed op kleine gaatjes. In verschillende keren op te vullen maar resultaat is ok

Il prodotto è buono, con molta pazienza e vari strati, si ottiene un buon lavoro. Bisogna prenderci la mano. Per accelerare bisogna usare un phon. Non abbondare mai con il prodotto. Servono almeno 3 mani. L'unico neo, non è ben carteggiabile, quindi bisogna lavorare piu precisi possibile. Ovviamente non ho ancora testato la resistenza e durata nel tempo
