Lexol Smokedhen I said it like six times. I don't mind the creasing but my seat leather is starting to crack after 30K? That's not cool.

I just called the guy that handles my car at Ramsey Infiniti to ask his "advice" which is basically me complaing and asking him to push buttons for me in a nice way. I called him up and was basically like "Yo dude, I have this huge problem that I can't fix and I have no idea what to do. My driver side seat, the leather is all cracking. My car only has like 30K on it and I use Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner on it once a month. I don't know what to put on it to stop it. Do you have any ideas on how I could stop it from cracking more?" His response was "umm bring it buy and let me take a look at it." Hopefully this means "I'll try and help you out in any way I possibly can."

I'll let all of you know what happens when I go there at 1 tomorrow (on Wednesday).

They have my red 6MT for an oil change and the fuel tank problem I have. It's still there. I'll pick it up tomorrow when they call me.

GTO what's your name? I met a guy at Spring Street Deli with a red 6MT coupe. I also drove on 287 with him about 2 summers ago and we were following eachother from Mahwah to Franklin lakes and passing looks, etc. I have a black 2003 G35 6MT.

Yeahh I know you! My neighbor used to work for sharp until she got laid off

Didn't I tell you about this site? Do you remember me at all? I knew your name was Mike or Steve. I couldn't put my finger on which one.

I just got back from Ramsey Infiniti. Here's my update.

When I got there the guy that handls my car Mario looked at my seats and said it's normal wear but you have some black discoloring from your clothing on the car. I said, I know I can't get it off. I use Lexol and Vinelx. Anyway, he goes in the back and gets some Nissan stuff and tries to clean the black stains on my seats and door panel but it wouldn't take it off. He said "Don't buy a new seat they cost $1,500." He calls the service manager Jeff over to look at it when he was done with thie tire guy. About an hour later (they were busy I didn't want to bother anyone so I just hung around, looked at the new M45 ) Jeff came and asked if I tried cleaning it, I said yeah, I use Lexol and when that wouldn't take it off I tried Mothers, Meguires, and a bunch of other stuff and Mario just tried the Nissan stuff you guys use and that didn't work either. So he takes a close look and said that it appears the opposite that we thought. I thought that my clothing was dying the seat. It was the opposite, the seat dye was coming off. I told him I used Lexol and he felt the seat and said, "Yeah I can tell, your leather feels like butter, except for here haha."

All and all for a two year old car, everything looks pretty good other than that. Some Willow G's I see there I'm scared to get into, everything is all discolored from people who don't know how to take care of their car.

I scheduled an appointment and in a week my car goes in and an interior guy is going to come and re-dye everything. Pretty sweet, should look like brand new they said.

20k miles and mine look brand new......I bought seats cover as soon as I got the car

Two reason:

1. It gets like 106 degree inside my car during the summer.
2. Keep them looking new.

That's a good move. I'll post before and after pictures of my car seats when the time nears and let everyone know.
