This should help you find your interior trim code. This tag is on the drivers door. On the lower left part of the tag you will see, C/TR, followed by more numbers. C-Exterior Color, TR-Interior Trim Color.
My car exterior color is indigo and interior trim is camel.

I had the same problem with the yellow color of the leather on the drivers door. It is not staining but is the top of the leather color coating worn off.

I ordered the Leather Magic kit in Ecru (Ecrue) color and it matched perfectly.

First picture of the way it looked:

This is how it looked starting out

Masked off ready to spray after cleaning and using the prep solution

Masked and sprayed

Done. Matches the rest of the car, top of leather restored


It was easy to do following the directions.

One thing that was a problem is I got some over spray on the reverse side of the door not realizing the spray would go over and land on the paint. Noticed soon enough and removed with soapy water and a rag. Be sure to mask everything including the back side of the door.

Can you please post the actual spray can? Thanks. Time for a re-spray on my seats.

Here are the photos of the kit that came. I emailed them and told them what I wanted to do and they recommended this kit.

The sprayer works by screwing to the top of the bottle back to the right and spraying from that source.



Leather Magic Kit

Contents of the kit. It also included some application sponges and gloves that are used up. Prep solutions and sandpaper to lightly sand the surface, not rough it up but prepare for the new color application.
