Driftit 1925 Report post Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) I have watched quite a few Videos of people using Colourlock. https://www.colourlock.com/bmw_leather_dye_colour_chart.html The youtube channel M539 uses it on pretty much all his restorations. He is just an armature with no prior knowledge and it comes out great. BTW I am getting a kit myself in a few months once I have somewhere to work on it. But there is a mobile guy people recommend on the forum. Check in the Interior section of the forum. Edited September 6, 2021 by Driftit 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APT 179 Report post Posted September 6, 2021 I've used Colourlock before and it works a treat. This is what I've purchased in the past: https://www.colourlockleathercare.co.nz/shop-now/product/10-leather-fresh-repair-kit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 128 Report post Posted September 6, 2021 I purchased black Colourlock leather fresh toner/dye for the steering wheel and a small patch on side bolster, and although it 'dried', it never worked and rubbed off with contact or moisture. It had been properly prepped, and so forth. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3235 Report post Posted September 6, 2021 I've used Colorlock Leather Care system on my old Volvo 855-T5 to great effect, and for maintenance on my BMWs. It's great stuff, just follow the instructions. Needs to be cleaned and (sometimes, abraded with fine sandpaper) before thin layers of toner (dye), before finishing off with the protectant. I always use Elephant Leather Preservative on top. I've done steering wheels as well. I've also used this on leather jackets and bags. It's excellent system, producing lasting results. If you're not keen on doing it yourself, contact your local Fibernew rep. Here in Wellington, Andrew does a brilliant job. HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It it’s just a bit of bolster wear the colour lock products previously recommended are good too but colour match could be an issue with 20 year old leather.
