Di,
I’ve got a question for you on this one. The spots that are peeling off, is there a cloth backing or do you see raw leather? The reason I’m asking is because a lot of time people think they have a leather couch when really they have a leather imitation or vinyl couch. There are vinyls now of days that look and feel just like leather and are sold at the department stores as leather.
In fact years ago my wife bought a couch and after about 2 years the surface of the couch started cracking and little spots of color were coming off. After pulling the cushion out did I discover the couch wasn’t leather at all. She was furious because she had payed leather price for a vinyl couch.
Even in vehicles there are very few that are all leather. Most have vinyl with leather inserts. But you pay for leather.
Now as far as a fix to your problem we need to know which type you have to be able to recommend a dye and the right repair. So let me know so we can get this done right.

Thanks…Mike “TIG”

Scott,
Of course….Thats what I’m here for. The best dye that I have found is through Viper Products, it’s a water based urethane dye which is what was on there from the factory. It can be applied by either spraying it on or by wiping it on. You can check them out at http://viperproducts.com. Use this code when you order, IG1100, just put it in the promotion box at the end of your order app, that way you get a discount and I get credit for the sale. If you have any questions about how to do the repair or about the dyes in general feel free to contact me.
