I have a 2007 BMW m5 with black merino leather that has been scratched due to a button. It’s not as serious but with everything else flawless in the car, it stands out quite a bit. Attached are pictures!!

This looks like a simple repair using a cotton swab and run the lines with the matching color and topcoat protect it thereafter.
So what you may need is just standard black Pigment-54 and Topcoat-56M.

The elaborate repairs would be in this sequence of process:

1] Restorative Cleaning:
This restorative cleaning removes all foreign contamination that goes in-between the grains and micro creases. It’s to prepare the surface for color and top coat repairs to the entire section.
It’s done with Prep-7.7 > Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0.

2] Abrasion Repair (optional):
Abrasion roughness is done without sanding, but with the help of hydration to relax and lay the flaps back in position and plumps it with fatliquor.
It’s done with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0.

3] Filling Repair (optional):
This filling repair is done with using adhesion coating to fill and smoothen up the scratches.
It’s done with Adhesor-73

4] Color Coating:
Black may not be black, it still needs to be match to confirm. Possible other color in the mix could be White and/or Ochre. We shall discuss further in details how you would derive to the original color. Remember that what you see the color black is distorted by the transparent topcoat.
It’s done with Pigment-64 series of color.

5] Top Coating:
Topcoating protects the colorcoat. Besides it alters the color with the desired luster.
It’s done with Topcoat-56Matte.

6] Leather-scent, Non-stick, Rub-Resistant Protection:
It’s done with Protection-B+

Let me know how you would like to proceed with and we shall go into the details.
