well... to answer you question you can go to kragen and look for this stuff called vinyl and leather repair kit made by permatex. As for leather cleaner? Cleaners dont usually remove lines.. But i personall use Lexol Shampoo and conditioner. It doesnt give you that shiny greasey look armor all or other leather cleaners do. Plus dealers use lexol.

lol, custom leather for my WHOLE car (sides, back, front, headrests) was 900 and my dad partially owns a body/custom upholstery shop.... other places is around 1400 (give or take a couple hundred for quality of leather) for whole car. seeing as how this is only a little bit of the seat, im guessing it wouldnt cost much at all (50 dollars max maybe....?) just wild number, but im thinking that sounds right
