Large scratch on leather sofa
Large scratch on leather sofa
I have a long scratch on my leather sofa cushion, thanks to Angel jumping around. I have applied brown shoe polish (!), but the scratch is still very obvious. Has anyone used any form of repair please?

How annoying.
Hope the polish doesn't stain your clothes when you sit on it. I wonder if there is some sort of leather dye sold for this. Or do people just buy new now-a-days.
Otherwise you could cover it with a throw.

Re: Large scratch on leather sofa
I've only just seen this so sorry for the delay.
You can get leather renovating polish, which I've used to good effect on a pair of very worn and grotty shoes. I was put onto it by a lady who renovated old briefcases for a luxury leather-goods company.
I also used to work for Jaguar, and they used to use a kind of leather dye to cover scratches. Not sure what it was but maybe a dealership could help. It may just be a renovating polish as it can achieve very good results.
I looked online and if you search for 'leather renovating polish' there's quite an array of products.

Thank you Freeranger for the information.

Freeranger - I have ordered some of the renovating cream, hope it does the trick, because brown shoe polish hadn't.

Let us know how it goes - fingers crossed for you.

The cream will not arrive until October, coming from China!!!
Re: Large scratch on leather sofa
The renovation cream for my leather sofa arrived a couple of days ago, and I am more than impressed by it. It has concealed the scratch, and not dulled the sheen of the leather. I expect it will need touching up from time to time, but a little went a long way.

Excellent - great news! A lot cheaper than a new sofa!
