I noticed where the door handle is on the doorcard (where you rest elbow) looked dull and dirty so I tried using a clean cloth and some cleaner to clean it and it took off the orange even more now instead of looking faded it's black smudge and it looks like a pink/black color now.
I have noticed the driver seat bolster has the same wear and orange has rubbed off to a black smudge. I have a full Sakhir orange extended door panel in mint but it's for non b/o cars and swapping the speakers cover over is a real PITA. What's the best way to touch it up? Any suggestions? Btw I'm disappointed in how the leather has held up on this f10. I'm a skinny guy and never wear jeans and am very careful but it still looo like shit. I am so happy I didn't get silver stone I can't even imagine how that holds up. My old f10 m5 with black seats was worse crack wise and the black had changed shades too. It was rough when I bought it......didn't bother me. this one was mint and I tried hard to keep it that way but so much for that |

I've been in touch with a local upholstery shop to help source the original material/leather. The left side of my F13 M6 seat is blown out and I know it only a matter of time till my M4 my & brothers M5 start to show wear.
I personally had a bad experience with dye as it just wears & hardens the leather which is why I am looking to just reupholster it completely.
