For a cheap temporary fix coloured leather conditioner works well.

For a permanent solution and nicely renovated interior, I think just over £30 for a grey/black scuff master kit, cleaner and conditioner is pretty cheap...

If you lived nearby Omega, you could borrow it no probs.

 

I did James' seats and we used a colour leather cream to cover cracks and scuffs after a light smoothing of the leather with '0000' ultra fine wire wool.

 

I bought the black leather cream from a classic car show for £12 and bought a grey scuffmaster kit as recommended above a few weeks ago too.
