leather seats cracking
leather seats cracking
i noticed a lot of creases on the edge of seat. car only has 7000miles, and it's getting worse everytime i drive it. it's pretty visible since it's black leather. is there any way i can make it go away, or at least slow it down somehow?(instead of putting some cushions on the top) do you recommend some kind of leather conditioner? btw my friend's gs4 with beige leather still looks new, eventhough it has over 50k miles. thx for any input..

wait, are they creases or cracks... you said cracks first.....
creases are normal, thats what leather does, its just easier to see on black leather. if you dont want creases, buy something other than a lexus so that you get the stiff vinyl feeling leather
mcguires leather care works well to slow down wear of the seats though
leather conditioning and such, i dont use armoral though, too greasy

Yup, armorall leather wipes are very greasy, you'll slide all over your seat.
Try Mcguires like Egainer said,
make sure you never use a vinyl product on your leather seats accidentally.

If you're very concerned about keeping the leather as supple as possible, go for Leatherique. It may appear pricey, but it works, and it leaves the seats with a perfect matte, non greasy finish that looks brand new.
Typing "Leatherique" into the search box will yield some great threads, including a member who posted some step-by-step pictures of conditioning the upholstery on a '03 ES.

i agree leatherique is the best. but for general maintenence lexol is the best product. u can get it at pep boys its highly recomended by professionals. don't waste your time with miguiers. unless u just want to get the top layer of dirt off.
