This 2010 Acura MDX, driver's seat the taipe grey color on the seat is wearing away in a few spots, mainly on the outside bolster. Car only has 39K so I guess Honda needs to work on the leather durability? Of course, previous owner may not have done anything to maintain. I was thinking of trying to mix some color to match and applying. However leather finish is not glossy, it's sort of eggshell/flat finish. The main part where it wore is on the outside of the bolster so I wouldn't mind experimenting on that since it's not the seating surface so I do have to worry about it being that visible, rubbing off onto clothes, etc.

Any recommendations on product and/or technique?

I use Zaino Bros for conditioner and that new car smell but is it any good for helping to protect the finish from rubbing off further?

Did you just order the leather dye from them and done it yourself? or let them do everything?
