Default Scuffs in Black Leather

need to get those light scratch/ scuff marks out of my leather seats. most caused by a book bag. Cleaning and conditioning wont get the color back so I am to the point of getting black shoe polish and polishing the spots and then conditioning.

Any input great! I am losing my mind looking at the scuff marks.

Don't use shoe polish it will wear off and get on your clothes. You can use a satin finish latex paint or get a can of SEM classic coat spray a bit into a container and carefully apply with a foam brush. Black is pretty easy to blend so you'll get decent results.

Right... as Lexus2000 recommended, just redye it. SEM makes some great products, and there are plenty of other brands who sell dye and leather repair products.

Youtube it, you'll see how straight forward it is.
