Leather Seats
Has anyone had problems with their leather seats?
I have developed cracks where I think the leather meets the vinyl on the outside of the driver side. It looks like three rips. I know that recieves a lot of "traffic" so to speak, so I can be a "little" open minded about wear and tear, but not very much.
I am also having something similar in the driver rear seat that looks like a emerging crack in the leather also. I use the Armor All leather wipes for treatment and on occasion will use Maguires for an overall clean.
I wouldn't be so ****ed if I didn't take such good care of my car.
Thanks.

i have heard bad things about the armor all stuff, all it bascally does is make your seats nice an dshiny and doesnt really do anything to the leather
i stopped using them and started using lexol.. MUCH BETTER it is absorbed by the leather and leather is actually softer, which will hopefully reduce cracks in the future

Leather
The leather in my 02 is nasty. It was croppy the day I got it. Really crappy grain and an overall "dryness". If I had to do it over I would have purchased cloth and got the leather from the aftermarket. From what I've seen the quality is much better.

They dry out the leather too much, the armorall wipes. Get zymol or some saddle soap and a good window tint. Your leather will last a long time.

I am going to attempt to request warranty work done on the leather, but if they have the same info about the leather wipes I doubt they will do anything but tell me its my fault. I hate it when I think I am taking care of something when really I am not! grrr

Lexol is an awesome product! It made my leather feel unbelievably soft. I used some cleaner first. I was shocked to see how much dirt came off of my seats! Then I used the the Lexol preserative.
I have stopped using the ArmorAll wipes.
Tinshield, I always thought that the 2k2-2k3 leather looked really nice. Man, if you think that's bad, you gotta see the 2k-2k1 leather. Not nearly as good as the 2k2.
Buy the Lexol. You won't regret it!

I use the Zymol leather cleaner and conditioner - the cleaner is good, gets out any dirt or marks. But it's much better when combined with the conditioner, which makes the leather softer and more smooth.
