Default Scratched/Marred my leather seat, now what??

I have roughed up a 3-4" area on my leather seat side (part where you butt hits the seat when getting in), as if something on my pants drug against it and ruffed it up. It doesn't look good.....what are my options now with fixing it?

There's not a product out there that will hide it for you, you'll either have to;

1) Take it to a re-dye professional (dealerships use them all the time on their lots) and have them refinish it (they'll sand it lightly in the process).

2) Have an upholstery shop recover that particular panel.

Sorry there isn't an easier to swallow option...those aren't really a DIY thing, unless you have some experience using leather/vinyl paint/dye, but that's the reality of it.

Best of luck.
