Yesterday i dented and marked the leather, i was carrying my friends boys box on the back seats. When i got home i found behind the drivers side, on the side panel.

Not happy with myself!!

What would you suggest to fix this?

Thanks
 
There are companys that repair that sort of thing but an old trick i would try first ..

Get a leather or chamois and soak it in hot water .. as hot as possible then hold it on the affected area .. it will soften the leather and hopefully alow the dent or crease to reshape.
 
Always sickening to inflict this sort of marking. :x

Would certainly go the Demort route first as less risky.

However, if no joy, perhaps worth trying this :-

Have seen the lads at the factory do it this way and it generally works. However, a big word of caution - do not over-heat the leather as it will burn/scorch/disintegrate!!!

Thats it !

i use a hot leather / chamois as a little safer but they are the same in principle .. and i did it a few weeks ago on a 911 targa roof leather and it worked a treat .

I wouldn't use a hot air gun, they are intended for meting paint and they are far too hot. Use a hairdryer instead and still be careful not to burn the leather.
