I am looking at a new used S2000 to replace my previous one. The car looks overall to be in great shape except the side bolsters look like they need some love.

Is there any special trick to resorting the side bolsters? I usually use Zymol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner on my seats. Is that a good product or are there other more powerful "weapons"?

 

definitely check out Leatherique products. Usually if the bolster has been worn out it is the foam underneath that has been ripped/torn. I remember someone doing a full out resto on a stock seat and from the outside it looked ok (just flat in appearance) but once the covers were pulled the foam was seriously tore up.

 

is it the leather or the inside?

 

Yes, this was the car that JPM did a seat restoration on. The driver's bolster had to be repaired using foam to help it regain its shape.

 

thanks
