Default Leather faded

I noticed that the leather on my rear seats in the center was faded, and I was wondering what I could do to fix it as it seriously bothers me.

Try a quality product like Leatherique.

I own a Detailing shop and use it on my Customers cars with great results.

What have you tried so far?

Have you attempted to properly clean it? It is hard to determine from the photos if it is simply a surface stain or if it is actual damage to the leather.

Actually I took the car to the dealer and they just took care of it right away. I guess it was just a very stubborn stain.

That was my assumption as the rest of the leather appeared to be in good shape. Glad you got it worked out
