>>>The scratch is clean and does not seem to have any dirt.
>>>It is about an inch long by half inch wide, it is more a surface scrap and it is not deep.
Since it is a clean scratch, we can skip the cleaning part and goes directly to repairing it in these steps.
1A] Apply Hydrator-3.3 to relax the surface protrusion for easy setting back and feather out to the entire surface for an even appearance.
1] A smooth underside of a teaspoon is used to lay and smoothen the scratches and leave natural dry.
2] Protector-D+ is applied to the scratches and let the product soak in using a cotton swab.
3] Compress the surface smooth with the underside of a teaspoon.
4] When dry fine sanding with 2000-grit sandpaper (if necessary).
5] Apply the Protector-D+ to the entire panel for an even appearance.

Leather Doctor® Protector-D+
This is a non-film forming, non-stick rub-resistant protector that enhances a draggy-feel with a classic leather scent.
It imparts a non-stick breathable barrier essentially to shield the detrimental effects of sticky soiling.
Its natural protection increases the leather resistance to wet and dry rubs, thus reduce stretch, scuff and abrasion.
It is used as a scuff repairer, filling and concealing surface scuffs to improve appearance.
