BMW Leather Repair Kit

Repairing BMW paint wear and paint loss
```Color abrasion occurs particularly frequently on the outer driver's seat bolster, door sills, armrests, door panels, and center armrests. The leather appears lighter, patchy, or faded, even though the surface is not yet deeply cracked.
In cases of pure color abrasion, liquid leather is generally not required. The surface is cleaned, degreased, lightly matted, and then refreshed with the appropriate BMW leather dye in several thin coats.
Suitable solution: BMW leather color in the matching BMW interior color.
```Repairing scratches in BMW leather
```Superficial scratches can be caused by zippers, keys, clothing, pet claws, or frequent getting in and out of the vehicle. As long as the leather is not deeply torn and no material is missing, the damaged color layer can usually be touched up with BMW leather dye.
After cleaning and degreasing, the area is lightly mattified. The BMW leather dye is then applied in thin dabs. Several thin coats of dye result in a more even and elastic finish than one thick coat.
```Repairing a crack in a BMW leather seat
```Cracks often appear on the driver's seat bolster, the door sill, or in sharply creased areas. If the surface is already torn or significantly deepened, BMW leather dye alone is not sufficient.
The tear is first sparingly filled with BMW liquid leather. After drying, the repaired area is smoothed and then color-matched with the appropriate BMW leather dye. Finally, a leather sealant should be applied to protect the repaired surface.
BMW Liquid Leather 20 ml
For multiple cracks, larger depressions, or a higher material requirement.
View 20 mlImportant: Liquid leather fills cracks and indentations, but does not replace the final color matching. After the repair, the area is dyed and protected with BMW leather dye.
```Repairing a small hole in a BMW leather seat
```Small holes or material defects can be caused by mechanical stress, sharp objects, embers, or advanced wear and tear. Minor surface damage can be repaired with liquid leather and then color-matched.
In the case of larger holes, missing backing fabric, open seams or severely brittle leather, the damage should be assessed beforehand by a specialist company.
Product recommendation: Liquid leather: 10 ml for a small, localized defect or 20 ml for larger or multiple repair areas.
```Repairing worn BMW seat bolsters
```The outer bolster of the driver's seat is one of the most heavily used areas in a BMW leather interior. Typical damage includes color abrasion, light scuff marks, small cracks, damaged edges, and brittle surfaces.
For simple color loss, BMW leather dye is often sufficient. If there are also cracks or indentations, liquid leather is applied first. For multiple damages and repair steps, a complete BMW leather repair kit is the easiest solution.
Repairing and restoring a matte finish to a BMW leather steering wheel
```A worn BMW leather steering wheel often appears shiny, greasy, stained, or sticky. In areas of heavy use, the original color layer may already be completely worn away.
For a durable result, the steering wheel is thoroughly cleaned, completely degreased, and lightly matted. Then, the appropriate leather dye is applied in several thin layers and finally sealed with an abrasion-resistant finish.
Recommendation: For a single BMW steering wheel, the matching BMW steering wheel repair kit with 30 ml is usually sufficient.

Our recommendation: If unsure, choose the next larger container size. Especially with light-colored leather, heavy abrasion, absorbent leather, or multiple repair areas, additional thin coats may be necessary.
The quantities given are guidelines and not guaranteed consumption values. Actual requirements depend on the substrate, leather condition, color, application, and number of coats.
```Select BMW leather color according to container size
```Choose the size appropriate for the area to be repaired. For multiple or heavily used areas, allow for sufficient extra material.
```Determining the right BMW leather color
```BMW uses different color tones depending on the model, year of manufacture, type of leather, and interior trim. Even black BMW leather can vary depending on the interior options. Therefore, the color should not be chosen solely based on its visual appearance.

For example, Dakota, Vernasca, Nappa and other black interiors.
BMW Oyster
Lighter shade for seats, armrests and door panels.
BMW Cognac
Warm brown hue found in various BMW interiors.
BMW Tartufo
Premium color shade, often found in high-quality merino wool garments.
BMW Ivory
Light-colored furnishings, on which abrasion and discoloration quickly become visible.
BMW Alaska Grey
Grey BMW color for seats and other interior parts.

Frequently asked questions about BMW leather repair
```Can I repair BMW leather myself?
Many types of damage, such as paint abrasion, superficial scratches, small cracks, and worn seat bolsters, can be repaired yourself with the right products. Thorough preparation, thin application layers, and a final sealant are crucial.
When is BMW leather dye sufficient?
BMW leather dye is sufficient if only the color layer is rubbed off, scratched or faded and there are no deep cracks, holes or missing leather areas.
When do I need BMW liquid leather?
Liquid leather is used for tears, cuts, dents, and small holes. After filling and smoothing, the repaired area is color-matched with BMW leather dye.
How much BMW leather dye do I need for one seat bolster?
For a small area of wear on the seat bolster, at least 30 ml are required. For a larger area, heavy wear, or multiple layers of paint, at least 50 ml is recommended.
How much BMW leather dye do I need for one seat?
For larger sections of a front seat, at least 100 ml is recommended. For a complete BMW front seat, at least 150 ml should generally be planned for.
How much BMW leather dye do I need for two seats?
For two complete BMW front seats, at least 250 ml is recommended. Higher consumption may occur in cases of significant color loss or a noticeable color change.
How much BMW leather dye do I need for the entire interior?
For front seats and larger sections of the rear bench, at least 500 ml is a sensible guideline. For a complete BMW leather interior, the 1-liter size should be chosen.
Which BMW leather repair kit is the right one?
The 30 ml set is suitable for smaller, localized repairs. The 50 ml set is intended for larger seat bolsters, multiple damaged areas, or more extensive repairs.
Can a shiny BMW steering wheel become matte again?
In many cases, yes. The surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and lightly matted. It is then thinly tinted and sealed with an abrasion-resistant coating.
Does BMW leather color black match every black BMW leather.
No. Black BMW leather can have different shades depending on the year of manufacture, leather type, and equipment. The exact color should therefore be checked before ordering.
Can BMW Dakota, Vernasca, Nappa or Merino leather be repaired?
Many pigmented BMW smooth leathers, such as Dakota, Vernasca, Nappa, Merino, and Montana, can be refinished if they suffer from color fading, scratches, or minor damage. The product should first be tested on an inconspicuous area.
Does the BMW leather color need to be sealed?
A final leather sealant is particularly recommended for heavily used areas such as seat bolsters, driver's seats and steering wheels to better protect the new color layer against abrasion.
Do I need to test the products beforehand?
Yes. Cleaners, degreasers, liquid leather and leather dye should always be tested on a hidden area first to check material compatibility, color tone and gloss level.
