What is your secret for removing scratches from leather?

To remove scratches from leather, you can use a few different methods:

  1. Olive Oil and Vinegar: Clean the area around the scratch with a damp cloth. Dab the scratched areas with a cloth soaked in white vinegar, which will make the scratched areas swell up. After it dries, apply colorless shoe polish with a soft cloth. If scratches are still visible, apply olive oil to the affected area in a circular motion.
  2. Super Glue and Filler: For severe scratches, trim away any shredded or loose fibers. Use a small amount of super glue and a toothpick to smooth down any loose flaps. If there’s a gap or missing piece, use a leather patch or filler.
  3. Leather Cream: Leather cream can also be used to remove scratches.

Remember, it’s always best to test these methods on an inconspicuous area first to ensure they won’t discolor or damage your leather.
