Butt-Print (wrinked leather DS)

I've recently purchased a 04 TL with Camel Interior. I've had it about a month and am already getting wrinkles in the DS and a butt print.

What's a good way to eliminate the wrinkles and the butt print, or at least keep it to a minium?

Any advise is both appreciated and welcomed!

If you're having problems finding Lexol at a local auto store, check out http://www.detailersparadise.com

They have nice stuff there, I got my stuff in 3 days using UPS Ground.

Lexol will not fix this problem. I am more interested in keeping the leather clean these days. Nothing seems to work.

I was actually at the dealer yesterday (dropping off) and I saw in their little "store" they had 2 full shelves of both the Lexol conditioner and cleaner (brown and orange bottles)

I'm getting something different than a but print on my ebony leather @1300 miles.
On the driver's side, there is a large (8" across) crease and lump.

Any ideas ?

I have an idea, setup some time with your dealer. I complained about this same large lump as well as wear and excess cracking on the outsides. They said that there is something wrong with the seating surface plus the padding underneath. Dealership is replacing both front "seat covers" as they call it (leather).

After using Lexol, as well as many other products, I'd have to say my favorite is Einszett Lederpflege. It smells great, leaves a nice matte finish and cleans/conditions in one step. Check out www.autopia-carcare.com for product reviews.

Will it match tho? They offered me the same, but I declined fearful of a non-match.

My but prints are going away as my car ages. Perhaps the new leather is too stiff and it takes usage to soften it, anyway after 12,000 mi. they're barely noticable.
