Sorry, don't have any product suggestions. Post your question on the Automotive Care and Detailing section of CL. You are likely to get more help than here.

I have the same issue on the steering wheel. I'm eventually just going to have it re-wrapped.

Leatherique has some pretty good leather dyes, problem is the leather ages and turns a different color so if they use the standard leather dye color for your interior it is not going to match perfectly.

Doesn't look too serious. A normal 2 or 3 step prorgram should make it look good again. Leather cleaner, then conditioner, then a leather preserver .

The leather was painted new. Repaint? If it was drum dyed top grain the same color would be full depth as far as I understand this
