Black leather seat wear

Just noticed my driver side bolster has a nice grey patch on the leather where I obviously brush against it.
I haven't a clue and I'm thinking of using black shoe polish?
Help!

Do not use black shoe polish!! What it sounds like is jean dye transfer in which case you will need a good leather cleaner to remove it. I use Dr. Leather's leather cleaner, you can also get wipes but I prefer the spray bottle. I suggest using a good brush to agitate the product aswell to remove the dye from the leather. Something like this is ideal

Most modern leather has a clearcoat layer from the factory now so it shouldn't be too difficult to remove, just patience and bit of elbow grease

Try some scuff master from liquid leather! Used it on my grey gti interior and with a few passes with toner/gloss enhancer you can get an exact match. Done it 2 years ago and they seat bolsters still look as good as new!
