Default Repairing Scratched Seat

I have a beautiful Corbin leather seat for a 2010 Sportster that I want to sell on ebay because I don't have the Sporty anymore. The only problem with the seat is it has a small scratch on the left butt-cheek side that I would like to repair or color. I'm not trying to hide it I just want to make it look nice. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that?

Thanks,

Jack

What color is the seat? If black, Harley has a wonderful black colored leather care paste that may help. Maybe a black magic marker then over it with the paste. Is the scratch deep?

The seat is black and the scratch isn't very deep. I have no idea how it got there, must have been from something in my back pocket. The seat only has about 500 miles on it.

I use Doc Bailey's on all of leather. Boots, saddle bags, seats, whips, etc. It rejuvenates, restores, recolors, reconditions, reclaims and remoisturizes. Well, maybe not all of that but it does work wonders.

I use black shoe polish in the small tin can on my minor seat and leather saddle bag scratches. Inexpensive and has other uses like helps clean shoes. Works great for me.
