    I saw a FB ad for this product and decided to order it in black color. It comes from SHOPNATIC and the tube is branded as Belino Cuir, so likely a French product. My front seats have minor imperfections (dots and scratches). I started cautiously with a small section. It goes on easily: squeeze a thin line from tube, spread with a plastic spatula, wait 3-5 minutes and wipe off excess. To me, it worked very well and I did most of my drivers seat quickly. The passenger seat was a little more damaged so it took longer and I think I will go back for a second pass for the deeper cracks. The pictures below are two "before" and two "after" of the driver's seat. I am happy with the results.
    They claim it will fix tears but I don't know how that would work from what I have seen. I have a living room chair I may try that on! It comes in 5+ colors and they can be mixed to match leather.
    Sorry for duplicate pics....

    After my earlier success with Belino Cuir, I watched their video multiple times about repairing an actual tear. I did not take a "before" pics but see the "after" pic below. I had a 1.5-2" tear in the passenger upper bolster with a little bit of stuffing coming out. My first application I made sure a good amount went inside the tear and held the gap as close as I could until it cured. Over the next days I applied multiple light coats on outside to make it as smooth as I could with the material applied and spread 1/4" or so on either side to hopefully make a stronger seal. Last application was wiped with a rag to reduce the shine of the material. I'm happy with end result. I will see in May haw it endures passenger getting in and out. I'll let you know.
    The repair is just to the right of the hinge lever.
