Hi,
I made the mistake of leaving sunroof open on my wife's 2015 Acura RDX with leather seats. She saw it open and I was able to close before the strong rain but it did take some rain for a few hours. The carpet didn't get wet, mainly front seats and center of back seat. I have been running engine with heater and a/c, and an electric fan, and put 2 big Damprid moisture absorbers. I took to dealership and to a detail shop to get their opinions and they both said I am doing all the right things, and they would do the same. It's getting pretty dry, might even be completely dry, but I noticed a couple spots that seems to have detached from foam, kind of puffy and wrinkly. Is there a way to improve this? Would love to get your opinion on this. Photo attached.


Thank you so much

The leather isn't ever attached to the foam, it's a seat cover. I'd continue to dry it out (put a home dehumidifier in there and run it overnight with the doors closed, run power cord out of sunroof or cracked window) and then do some good leather conditioning. Leatherique oil is the best for leather restoration so park your car outside in the beating sun (windows closed this time) and let it get good and hot before you put the oil on it. Then let it sit for 24hrs before wiping down with a quality (stress on quality) leather cleaner of your choice and then with a damp cloth. That should get you to where you want to be.

You live in Cali so this process should work for you. I'd have to wait 6 months to do it.
