So last night I parked my car outside and locked it up as I normally do. I didn't realize that I forgot to close my sunroof. I went to bed and woke up to a puddle of water in my car. My leather seats were soaked and my cup holder was full of water...roughly an inch...enough to kill the cell phone I left in the cup holder. I tried to dry up the water as much as I could. What should I do? I know the seats absorbed lots of water and I couldn't get the water out of them. I dried up the carpet as much as I could. Any suggestions?

 

i suggest posting this in the wash and wax forum. I'm sure the experts there can tell you what to do no problem

 

Thanks!

 

probably start with leaving your car completely open doors and all to air out lololol, and then try putting leather conditioner on the seats before they get warped and shit from the water.. that'd be my 2 cents

then once its completely dry get some of that leather restorer and slap it on there, with a bit of leather cleaner before it, then re condition it.. your cushions might be fucked though, but what can you do.. save the leather!

 

oh mann. sorry to hear that. just wondering..knowing u already have enough problems..but do you have any pictures of the water damage?

 

No I don't have any. So far there isn't anything that abnormal about the car... Minus the leather seats looking a little loose. Also now the windows have condensation all over them. I guess until tomorrow I won't know if I can get it professionally cleaned and dehumidified.

 

ohh alright. well good luck on your car man!

 

Wow that sux man...I wouldnt even know what to do...probably just take it to a detailer and let them sort it out...

 

I'd take it to a professional.
