Leatherique Completed

Got a few tips from members here on best product for cleaning and condition leather.
Leatherique done a great job. Rehydrated, Matt and cleaned.
Also got a few tips here not to use pristine clean and just use warm water to rinse away rejeventor oils.
Car is a 2008 with 90k miles.

Only thing I need to do now is figure out the best treatment for the drivers seat bolster.
Any tips?

the black looks like worn off leather paint (for lack of better words). You'd need to have the leather refinished/redye'd

I have tried a few different leather dyes, and Bespoke has by far the best match and quality.

I have touched up several places on my Bamboo Beige with it and you can't see it at all.

I have done it with an airbrush and also with a fine sponge like a makeup sponge. Both ways worked great. With the sponge I dabbed the dye on as opposed to a wiping motion in two light coats. It needs to be clean, best results were after a good Leatherique treatment.

I found that with the Bespoke dye, no topcoat was needed. It doesn't wear quickly like others and has a nice matte finish that blends perfectly. The color, as with all dyes, will look lighter until it fully dries.

Here is a closer shot of the drivers seat which had areas that were worn like OP's.
