Beige Leather...Help!

I gave my seats a feed and clean today, and the drivers seat has ended up looking like this!
So my question is, what are my options? Is it a recolour job? Can you do just the one bolster?
Thanks.

I'am sure stevemed will lend you his leather re colouring kit, as long as you buy the bits like spray and filler. He posted up a while ago saying if anyone wants to borrow it they can. Obviosly you would have to check with him, saves buying a new one @£100 or what ever they are

I used Autoglym leather feed and cleaner! No colour came off on the cloth, it has just ended up like that after 1 day!
I don't want to re-colour all the seats as the passenger and rears are great! Its just this bolster that I have somehow wrecked!
Blitz, I am still very happy with the interior!

Gliptone.. You need to cut a small sample to send them, then they send you a kit back.. It will remove all visible 'cracking' etc

Yup thats what he said to try. Use a clear wax over the top of it once retored to advoid any of it going into your torusers afterwards.

Great stuff.
Used it on black, tan, beige and ox blood leathers before. It get's in the crack's too.
I let it dry for 24hr's and then just used, nothing transfered to my clothes.

You'll probably find that it has been re-coloured at some point and by giving it a good clean your brought out an old ware mark that was covered over before
