F***ing Leather!!!!!!!!!!

I've been using this conditioner that i got @ an autoshow, but this F***ing thing is making my seats hard and stiff, its a shiner, not even a real conditioner... its a cheap 20 dollar piece of SH**!!! Does acura replace leather under warranty?

Nope, especially when they can see you've used cr@p on it.

I would just go in there and say that it is just screwed. I replaced my seats just because i thought they didn't look right. just go and tell them the worst thing they can say is no.

go buy some leatherique...it may help. It's the best stuff out there and can do amazong things for very neglected/abused seats
if you want to go the cheap route, wash the seats with diluted Dawn and then use lexol or 303

and next time don't use crap from the auto show

use leatherique. They have a rejuvinatoing oil that will turn even 40 year old dried up Jaguar leather upholstory soft and supple. Plus the guy who owns the business, George, is very helpful.

yea what brand is it that you bought?

do the following
1. re clean your leather with bluemagic leather cleaner. That should take most of the hardner stuff that is on there
2. nx day Lexol conditioner your leather.

I think blue magic cleaner is about $7 and lexol is about $10. still cheaper than the cr ap you bought

Let us know the brand so we stay away from it

you should be ok then. Good luck

Before you replace your seats try using soft scrub with lemon. Get a soft nylon brush (vegetable scrubber or something)and some water and put a little soft scrub on your seat. Its takes a little elbow grease but youll see all the built up CR@P come off. Wipe off the scrub and put some good conditioner on it. I used Meguiers and it soaked it up like a sponge. I just hit my seats and they look awesome, theyre softer too. My seats are brown and they came out nice but I dont know about the other colors so test a little to see what happens. TRUST ME THIS WORKS it even got the little cracks out of my drivers seat, I got 75k so the seat has been used and it looks brand new now.

I've used Meguiar's Medallion for Leather for close to ten years and I have never had a cracked or torn seat!
