Default Leather Touch Up., need a little help

I guess getting in and out of the car the side bolster of my seat has a few small scratches and a small snag, not sure if its from wearing a belt or not but I'm always care getting in and not just jumping into the seat. No tears so is there a touch up to hide the small marks and no I'm not buying seat covers, thats why I have the Prem with the 401A upgrade.
thanks...

Already? Ive got 80K+ miles of in/out on my seats & no marks. Id show it to the dealer. That dosent sound right unless your clothes are abusive on the seats. Imagine what its gonna look like in 2 more years!

I daily drive mine and notice a few little snags. I've wondered if the snags are repairable without redoing the seats or buying covers.

That stuff is for holes. I used it on my 2008 Durango. I have some scuff marks on my drivers seat and I use some good leather cleaner and lotion. I have a spot that is lighter than the rest on the bolster so I used some black shoe polish then used the seat lotion over it.

I just finished doing mine. They were pretty worn out, especially the drivers seat since I wear mostly jeans. I made a small video showing the before and after. Didn't take any of the process because I was alone and didn't have anyone to hold the camera.

I used Magic Mender, which I found on YouTube. I usually don't trust stuff that appears to work like magic but I was really annoyed at how bad my seats looked, so I pulled the trigger. It wasn't hard at all, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. I think the seats came out great, they don't look repainted at all. I was going to just touch up the bad spots but after looking at how well matched the color was did the whole front of the front seats, which by the way is the only leather in the car, everything else is vinyl, so I don't know why they call it a leather interior.

Wow. That is a big, big improvement. I am really tall so I have to like, throw my body in the car, and I wear jeans quite often too so we have some similarities in the damage. I'm definitely going to have to give this a try after I see some more people's feedback. Thanks for the video man!

I know, I damaged the side bolster foam padding on mine with my elbow getting in and out. Need to fix that next.
