My seats have the small creases, but I keep them well conditioned and I just hope and pray that they don't ever crack.. The summer heat can change that pretty quick.

 

i got the bottom cushion, leather and frame replaced on my drivers seat under warranty...the outside bolster was non-existent, the leather was cracking, fading, and flaking, and the seat itself was pretty much a cavity....only after 20,000 miles too!! If your car is under warranty, take it to the dealership.

 

its the same stuff Clarks uses for their shoes....go buy that instead.

 

i used megauirs gold class leather cleaner and conditioner spray. works great, not greasy and leaves a nice new car scent.

 

You shouldn't need to use anything on your seats. My S2k is now 4.5 years old, top down EVERY day, haven't touched the leather with anything more than damp cloth every 6 months or so and they are perfect.

 

Not sure if it's available at all auto stores, but you can definitely get Lexol from Pep Boys.

 

The reason Armor All is such garbage is that is contains silicones, known chemicals to soften and destroy the finishes put on your leather. So not only will you get an ugly shiny look from this stuff, but it will cause premature wear.

Check out the thread on leather I had started a while back...it goes something like this

"post your leather questions here, they will get answered"

By the way, after this occurs, you can still restore it and make it look like new. We have done it to many cars out of our shop and they go out looking like new. PM me to find someone near you, if you are in or near NJ, we can do it ourselves.

 

Lexol

 

Remember, leather is just an animal's skin, and the creases are quite normal in that they're wrinkles in the skin. Most leather finishers put fillers in the wrinkles to hide them, but it makes no difference as far as the longevity of the leather is concerned. You can also over -treat the leather. Unless your seats suffer from abuse, you don't need to clean and condition the leather more that 3-4 times a year. The rest of the time, just wipe the seats down with a slightly damp sponge,
