Back seat leather issue
Well I have an unusual question for you all about interior repair. Prior to Hurricane Ian impacting my state I had to do a lot of shopping for my parents, my grandparents and my own needs. I had a huge order from Walmart grocery to assist with preparations but unfortunately that's why I'm here. The people that loaded my groceries waited until the end to bring out the 5 flats of drinking water. The trunk was full and the footwells of the back seat were full so they loaded the flats into the back seats. All was well and I was able to delivery groceries but then I had to stop and work on buttoning up a lot of windows, etc. This meant that the water sat in the back seats for almost 3 days before I was able to get back to putting those flats into their houses. Now the back seat.. .especially the passenger rear seat leather has imprints of the bottles in the leather and they aren't going away.
Should I steam them out? Should I try massaging the leather with a brush and leather conditioner? Have any of you had to deal with this?
Thank you for any wisdom you can bestow upon me.

I'd do a search on YouTube.

When I got the car I have now the dealer did a tire swap for me and put the other set in bags in the back seat(I told them I'd pick them up in my truck) and there were some rocks in one bag that put small indentations on the seat surface and have been there for over a year now.
I tried conditioner and some other things but I think they are permanent, this was on the perforated area.

Thanks, I tried the heatgun also this summer with no success, the marks on the seat surface seem to be going away but where the second tire was stacked on the drivers rear bolster area is the same. Nobody sits there anyway.

I was just looking for sage advice as Lexus leather isn't quite the same as other car's leather. I found this and will be trying it tomorrow....
