so i sit in my car today to find a scratch in my beautiful type s leather.
if anybody can help and tell me if its a scratch or its signs of it starting to rip, also do u think its been done by someone or its just by people sitting and the leather stretching
how can i cover this? also is it just going to get worse what should i dooooooooooo zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

get a leather patch filler kit at pep boys, its not too bad looking should be an easy fit, and also pick up some armer-all leather wipes

 

does this happen to nobody but me? ;p
is it a problem that is going to get worse or patching it up will do the trick

 

i wouldnt mess with some pep boys bullshit, do search through a phone book and see if you can find someone that works on leather couches and shit.

 

should i be freaking out?

 

As long as you maintain the leather, hopefully it won't get worse. Check out the Wash & Wax section, there's a lot of info there. I remember reading that using a damp warm cloth and wiping the seats when cleaning helps keep the moisture in them...or something like that. Sorry couldn't be more of a help.

 

i got a 1/4" hole in my rear seat on the back portion. and u wining about this? over the years and wear and tear, your leather will look worse.

 

sharpie

 

^now that is a smart man

 

your seat looks flawless... your front seat makes mine look 100 years old!

 

no!

the fact that you had to zoom in 100X with your camera for it show up (it looks about the size as one of the stiches). Phee's got the right idea with the sharpie!

General leather care = Lexol leather reconditioner - I do it each time I wax the car - keeps leather from cracking / discoloring etc. Your car will smell like a cow for about a week, but it works great. Can find it at most repair shops (kragen, etc).

 

Looks like a conspiracy! just kidding, keep it oiled up especially since summer is knocking, like GOLDTL said, they make leather patch kits, my dad used one on the seat of one of his harleys, looks good.

 

and clean your carpet. they are full of crap

 

lol I LOVE THIS WEBSITE
i bought these leather treatment cream from the dealership cost me 30$ should do the trick. after applying it the scratch went away
cheeeeeeeeeeeese

 

if you should freak out over THAT.. i shoulda had a heart attack already from my cracking on the outter part of the drivers side...

 

since the OP got his seats fixed... what can we use to protect our leather in the summer time? i know the sun will be beating down on my black leather when it starts getting warmer... plus my leather isnt in very good condition what steps can be taken to keep it in decent shape? also people are in and out of my car a lot

 

tint the windows and tell the ppl not to have sharp thing in their pockets. other than that, clen them and put some of that leather protection stuff that they sell at auto stores

 

Lexol (see post above) - works great - i've used it for years and leather looks brand new. Murphy's soap oil to clean any stains (like my son's juice box that spilled in the back seat several weeks ago - just found it today).

 

Woolite and water to clean
Lexol to condition
Aerospace 303 for UV protection

Wash and wax has a ton of threads and links for leather care

 

i'd be more worried about that carpet and the crap in the door trim

 

Be happy
