Step-by-step guide to repairing your BMW E90 leather seats
1. Cleaning the leather
Thoroughly clean the leather surfaces with a special BMW leather cleaner or a mild leather soap product. Use a soft cloth or soft brush to remove dirt from the leather's pores.
2. Compensate and smooth out damage
You can fill small cracks or scratches with liquid leather or leather filler . Apply a thin layer of the product to the damaged area and smooth it with a spatula. Let it dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step.
3. Color refreshment with BMW leather color
Choose the original BMW leather paint to match your interior. You can find the color code (e.g., LCSW for Black or LCBR for Coral Red) in your service booklet or on the type plate in the engine compartment. Apply the leather paint evenly in thin layers using a sponge or airbrush. Multiple thin coats will produce an even and professional result.
4. Fixation and sealing
After dyeing, it's important to protect the leather with a sealant . This provides additional abrasion protection and prevents the leather color from fading. Simply apply a thin layer and allow it to soak in.
