How to remove scratch off leather?

Have worked w/leather over years as well as having worked on own garments, etc., making repairs. Hope this might help. If leather is smooth (not sueded), you can't actually remove a scratch but you can work on the scratch to blend it into the leather, smoothing it out again so not so visible. Use either good quality leather conditioner or matching color leather cream for this purpose. I chose to use leather conditioner to work out scratch since color leather cream will create a darker line once scratch worked out/back into leather. What has happened is just like when we get a cut ourselves and there's fresh skin exposed. Either leather conditioner or matching color leather cream is going to penetrate moreso on fresh leather exposed by scratch to the leather which is pretty difficult to avoid to some degree. Apply small amount leather conditioner to scratched area and work it along line of scratch, gently smoothing out the edges of the scratch. Safest way to work on smoothing out/blending in scratch is to work from outside of the scratch edges inward toward the center of the scratch. What you're attempting to do is close up the scratch working outwards into the center so that edges of scratch blend in as much as possible. You'll get a feel for working on the scratch line and should see it closing up w/possible exception of fine line in center. You can then decide if you want to apply matching color leather cream afterwards to see if covers up scratch further. But what you'll most likely expexrience is further darkening of your scratch line. If garment, etc. is sueded, what you need to do to fix scratch is use a small wire suede show brush to life the nap up along/around the scratch line. I start out gently using the little wire shoe brush to brush up the nap around and along the scratch line. As you work w/the wire brush you will be able to tell how hard to need to use the brush on the suede to bring up the nap again in order to hide the scratch. Hope this helps.
