On finished leathers with a low to high luster a shoe polish will work. But if not buffed out completely off the polish will rub off on your clothes. We don't recommend trying to touch up light color leathers or suede, it just won't work and you will ruin the article. Another trick for this type of leather (black only) is to get some black shoe dye from the local grocery store and dab it on a wad of cotton cloth, rub it on some junk cardboard and get the wet dye spot damp. Then rub it on the scratches. BE CAREFUL, too much dye will show and be obvious. You should be able to buff it and it will almost look as good as new.
