I think my son used the leather dash as purchase the other day when he got out of the car and left a superficial abrasion (need to cut his nails!).

Suggestion
Try using a leather dye kit to touch in the scratches with a cocktail stick or small paint brush, then go over with a sponge to 'blend".
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Can anyone recommend a product for this?
I think my son used the leather dash as purchase the other day when he got out of the car and left a superficial abrasion (need to cut his nails!). The dash is otherwise nearly perfect so it stands out!
I tried applying my usual leather conditioner (McGuires) which faded it a little.
I've also got some scratches around the headlight switch which could do with some attention.
Cheers,
Try using a leather dye kit to touch in the scratches with a cocktail stick or small paint brush, then go over with a sponge to 'blend". Some conditioner on top and if the dye is a good match should give good results.
I bought a kit from this company. Colour was an exact match and the sanding pad removed all trace of scratches. My door cards were terrible - last owner had long nails I guess.

Thanks for the replies.
The colour lock products look like a good option. The leather fresh dye indicates it's suitable for cars but specifies for artificial leather or pigmented leather only, not aniline leather. Would that be suitable for the dash leather I wonder?
The fella from Colourlock has appeared on Forensic Detailing Channel a few times, seems to know his stuff. I'm sure if you called or emailed they'd advise exactly what to do.
If you're in the UK then FurnitureClinic has everything you need ... plus they give good advice over the phone.
I've renovated the leather in several cars ... easy !
They also offer a colour matching service.
if there are small indentations, a bit of heat can help settle some abrasions on leather. While it can restore colour, it helps the leather return to its previous form. Use a hairdryer rather than a heat gun (heat gun is like a sledgehammer) and gently warm the area and massage it with you hand (in a cotton glove).
Thanks for the replies. The abrasion is pretty superficial (see below) so the hairdryer trick might be worth a try. I've been in touch with colourlock but the products seem quite pricey. Could try furniture clinic as recommended above too. Meanwhile I've bought a cheap "Porsche compatible" leather dye from eBay which I'll try and update on later.
I've got a guy doing my interior today. There are a number of scuffs and scratches that he's seing too plus the general wear and shine on the interior door handles etc. I'll post some pictures later on how it goes.
