Default Leather dye

I value your opinion, has anyone used seatdoctors products.? I have a brogue interior and looking for a color match. They say they have it. Your opinions matter.

I have ordered from them before and the products are reasonably priced, and match very well. Mine was Jet (Black) so it is easier I suppose...But mine matched great. I just bought some to use periodically to re-touch the Driver seat bolsters to keep them from looking worn.

I would use them again.

Thanks DC that’s exactly what I need to do. It pays to keep on top of issues, mine isn’t terrible but after years of in and out it can become worn and requires some TLC.

I have the "red zone" seats and I bought a small bottle of dye from Seat Doctors a few years ago.
Great product perfect colour match and easy to use, highly recommended.

I recently bought from them to repair some wear on my cirrus interior and it matched very well. Just have to watch out how many layers you are putting in and trying to blend it.

Sorry bad lighting. Did this around late afternoon. This is about 2 layers of dabbing in the dye with a makeup sponge and letting it dry between layers. Trying to avoid the black stitching was very annoying.

I also have the Brogue interior with BRG Xirallic:





Because I like to keep the leather as close to "as new" as possible, it is regularly conditioned using the AutoGlym Leather Balm - and even the most minor scratch or sign of wear is treated with dye - the one I use, and which is a perfect match is Colour Lock - but note: Brogue is a fairly rare colour on Jaguars....most leather dye companies do NOT list this colour for Jaguars (in fact I could not find it). But Colour Lock has it listed as a Range Rover colour - and that is how I found it. A perfect match.

I have used products from Leatherique on other cars. Work really well, but its been a while so I don't know how the expense compares.

I noticed some wear on the driver's seat bolster of our F's all-black interior...so I just used shoe polish on it. Good match....

Leatherique (very good product!) does not have a prepared Brogue. You would have to send a swatch of your leather to have them match it. In contrast, Colour Lock has the Brogue as a standard colour (but under the Range Rover listing, not Jaguar - the colour is identical)

Thank to everyone for their experiences with leather dye. I’ve used leatherique on my 63 e type seats with great success, perfect color (tan) match. I’ve placed an order at Seat Doctors giving them the interior color code and year of my Jaguar. Andy at Seat Doctors stated they have brogue dye color. I will inform members whether this is true and results of application. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, be safe and All the Best in the coming year.

I just ordered the red for my seats from Seat Doctor. Looking forward to seeing how well it matches this spring.
