The seat upholstery on my 94' Q45 is starting to look a bit chaffed Has anyone sound an upholstery filler/dressing that they like? I know the simple answer is to replace the leather, but I don't think that mine is that far gone yet. By the way, is there an upholstery color code somewhere on the vehicle?

I think what you are referring to is known as Leather Dye.

There is a company called Leatherique which I have heard many good things about. If you send them a sample of the leather, they will custom match the dye.

I destroyed my most special car with Leatherique. My car's interior was a solid 9/10 and I thought I could bring it up to a 10. Now the interior is a flat 0. I highly advise against it.

Those products IMHO are

If you really want to redye the leather, I'd recommed having a pro do it even if it costs you $200- $300 instead of trying your luck.

Lino: In the process of destroying your interior, did you find a dye and/or filler that you could recommend.? What was the exact problem: color matching, their leather softner, or their filler?

Any update on this yet, please? I'd like to know what Leatherique did to your car!
