Re: Stupid stupid stupid mistake
Are they "holes" per se, or just deep "dents"? If they are the latter, leave the car in the sun for a while (roll down the windows if you have tints) and the heat should take care of it.My car aswell as my both my parents cares have leather(ette) and my experience has been that it takes ALOT to permanently damage it. Some pics would help

Some pics would help I think they're cut, but it's hard to tell. I'll have pictures in a few minutes if I can find my camera, haha.

| Now that I've seen the pics, I can say this even more emphatically: I really do think you're greatly overreacting -- even in my younger days when I really obsessed over my cars I'm not sure I would have reacted quite so strongly over something so minor. People have worse dimples than that on their faces and don't think anything of it! What are you going to do the first time some idiot slams his door into your car in a parking lot and leaves a sizeable dent? Trust me, I've had all these things and worse happen to brand new cars, and if I really let it get to me I'd probably be crazier than I already am!  In fact, speaking of leather punctures, I have a beautiful leather office chair that my dog decided to sink his fangs into (long story) and now it not only has deep cuts but tears too. I'm not happy about it, but that's life.
That said, these guys look like they have an interesting product -- they seem reputable and they do ship to Canada, but I don't know anything about them otherwise -- I might even give this a try on my leather chair. Under "individual products" they even have finishing clearcoats that can apply just the right texture to the repair. In your case though, I would just question whether it's worth $50 and all the effort and risk for something so minor that it might very well just repair itself to the point of becoming unnoticeable!
