Fiona Red Leather Touch Up Kit?

Getting in and out of my FR buckets is a daily adventure and I do my best trying not to rub the bolsters. However, it just seems inevitable something is going to go wrong. Sure enough, I go and get in and I feel my shorts snag as I'm about to sit down. In complete fear of what got caught and what the resulting damage might be, I slowly look to my left to find a tiny little scratch on the left side rib bolster. So tiny it made me say WHEW because it sure felt worse than it was. But like all of you, there it is. It finally happened. I will see it forever. My G80 Is not "new" anymore. 😆 thinking how I can fix this myself, I grabbed a red sharpie and was able to lightly dab the scratch which to my surprise worked very well. That said, is there a touch-up dye kit out there that's better than a red sharpie? I'll post a pic when I go to the car later.

I purchased color-matched dye from https://autoleatherdye.com/ in Virginia. Good match & quick delivery.
You can use your seat memory settings to have the seat move back when you get in/out to help prevent rubbing the bolster.

Btw, I just ordered their repair kit for Fiona Red. At first I didn't see the color in the BMW section but after a quick chat, they added it to their selection and I ordered it. Thanks for the link!
