Leather restoration

I've seen references on here to Furniture Clinic. I need to refresh my Coral red seats. Worst offender is where I get in and out. See pic.
Also a few scratches on passenger side door trim.
Is F Clinic what I need, and if so how do I colour match?

Pretty common wear marks Spike but I'd check my jeans for rivets on the back pockets, I've got jeans I won't wear in my car anymore because of that reason

Gliptone scuffmaster is the way forward, just give them your car details and they will match it for you

Yeah, the scuffs were there when I bought it. Thanks for the advice guys.

I'd give it another coat, it should come up even better

I'll give it a go.
BTW I've used Gliptone Liquid Leather, Scuff Master in case anyone's interested.
Silly question, but I presume the door panels are also leather. What about the dash board trim. Is that black leather, or just leather look?

Very nice job

I'm going to do mine in the spring. Only the drivers side needs it.
