Default Leather repair services

So i am a proud new owner of a 2005 tundra access cab limited trd 4x4. While cleaning the interior i noticed some spots on the the leather that looked like ink. So i got out the rubbing alcohol and tried to remove them. Seems to only make it worse. Now i think that the spot are actually where the leather has lost its colour due to some sort of solvent. anyways the spots are no bigger than a dime each and the leather does not appear damaged, just discolored. My question is has anyone used those mobile leather repair services with good results? Or does anyone know where i can get a single passenger side seat cushion cover? I called the dealer and they want a fortune and i am pretty confident that i could replace the cover myself.

Thanks

yes, you should only pay 100 for a re spray of the interior.
it looks great, but it will wear off,over time. especially using harsh chemicles.
most interiors that people try to clean ,use the wrong products. and start to brake down the dye.
if you need more than soap and water, most likely it will only be a matter of time, before you wear it out.
also many people think it's dirt but in fact it's a worn section.

to clean it try lexol it is ph balanced, and condition it with lexol. there are alot of pretty good products out there.
it's best to stay on top of it. don't wait a year or 2 than try to get it back to new.
many people will tell you not to use saddle soap , but on many types of leather it in fact cleans & protects your interior.
just like paints, if you don't wax it, it will fade, etc.
everything needs some type of protection.
so yes, you can have the interior dye'd. with excellant results.
or go out and spend a small furtune in a new interior.
my new interior i'm having made is 2 g's.
so compare the 100 to re dye it or buy a new 1.
try ebay they have many options. at low lost 159 to 600.
or even that foam neoprin wet suit type product.
you have many options, just decide on how much you want to spend.

I have had the leather seats Re Dyed on my 98 Lexus and they look very nice. Color is uniform but the seats still have the worn out creases that show that the car is 10 years old and has 130,000 miles.

I religiously use the Lexol cleaner then the conditioner 2 or 3 times a year and the seats look and feel very nice. It costed me $200 the have the front seats re-colored.
