Search "Furniture Clinic" on the forum.

I used SeatDoctor on my Coral Red seats. Perfect match and easy to apply. Dye is premixed with sealer. Just rub on with a lint free cloth or paper towel. Dries in about 20 minutes. Go to their website, they have matches for most all BMW leather colors.

I used SeatDoctor on my Coral Red seats.

Great if you are in the good ole US of A. Maybe not so if you are deepest, darkest Wales. It is nearer the 'land of the free' than most other parts of the UK, granted, but shipping may still be a little costly!

Furniture Clinic is my suggestion for the UK!

I'm looking at the Furniture Clinic website now... my seats are OK, but far from great... the products they seem to offer are -

Leather Colourant Kit
Leather Repair Paint (formerly Self Seal Colourant)
Leather Colourant

As far as I can see there is no real point buying the full kit. What I need to do is -

(1) Clean with a home made leather cleaner (any tips gratefully received but this is easy to google)
(2) Restore Paint with colourant or self seal colourant (which should I go for?)
(3) Use any normal leather furniture polish to keep the leather nourished going forward (again any tips gratefully received but this is easy to google)

I used the scratch doctor leather colourant to smarten up my seats. About £17 for a 250ml bottle which will easily cover both seats. I did several coats and still only used about a quarter.

They can match the colour if you let them have your VIN

Then I used Gliptone leather conditioner on the seats to keep them looking good

Best way to apply the leather colourant is to cut up a non stick washing up pad into 3. Use this to apply it rather than a brush. Leave at least 10 minutes between coats.
