I noticed a nice crease in my leather

The second day i actually had my car, I had my friend in it. He was sitting in the car for no more then 20 minutes, when i noticed on my passenger sport seat, not on any of the bolsters but actually rite on the button cushion there is a nice wrinkle. The way the seat is split into 2 parts rite down the middle, its all the left side (closest to driver). When i put my hand on it and kind of stretch it, it goes away...but i cant friggin believe it. Is this normal?

My seat is fine btw.

My seats aren't bad although I use Zaino conditioner on them pretty regularly. It certainly should not happen on the 2nd day, but I think people forget that leather is going to crease and wear eventually.

It seemed to me that the leather seats were very "dry" when I took delivery. I put leather conditioner on the seats the day after I brought it home, and have done so every week thereafter. Perhaps that is why I haven't seen any creases.

I make it a habit now to keep my wallet in my front pocket. I would ask my passengers to do the same, but i don't want them to think I'm a **** freak ;0)

Either your not a freak or we're BOTH freaks

I just started doing the same thing after I noticed a slight "pull" on the leather on the right side of my seat after around 300 miles...

I have some "slight" creasing on the left bolster of my sport seat that I am sure is there from getting in and out of the car.

In fact, there was some very minor wrinkling when I took delivery, probably from people getting in and out during the trip from Japan and at the dealership.

It's gonna happen. I'll just condition it and hope for the best....and try not to be too ****...

Condition it.
I use Lexol cleaner and then conditioner... the wrinkles disappear.
I'll post a pic of my seats if needed. They look new.

Also, try not to fart. The heat seems to increase wrinkling.

Uh oh...I'm in trouble...

I just ordered some Lexol yesterday. Glad to hear it will minimize the wrinkling.

It's no big deal but the fewer the better. Farts AND wrinkles, that is...
