Leather Repair

Last week I accidentally scratched my passenger seat with the key while lifting something out of the car. I tried to "buff" it our with my fingertip, but in the process took a small part of black leather coating off. There is now an area of exposed "raw" leather about the size of my fingertip. (on a side note - this is very low quality upholstery).

In addition, the rear interior side panels where the inserts for the windscreen are located has several areas of indented leather from inserting the windscreen.

Does anyone have any solution to fix either of these dilemmas???

I had also a few scratches on my driver's seat and I simply used black shoe wax and it does not show unless you look very close.

The real and more expensive solution is to have the leather redone at a good upholstery shop.

Had this done to my driver's seat and steering wheel (sand biege interior) and looks like new. Paid $85 and that included cleaning/conditioning the rest of the leather
