Anyone used any product to treat the cracks in the leather seats on the TL? I'm looking at a used TL with 56k and the drivers side seat looks a little rough. Can anyone recommend a decent product to reduce the cracks on the seats? Should the dealer take care of something like this?

 

seat covers are not long term warranty item

Just get some leather care product at the auto parts store, or a bike shop, or a horse saddle shop, all will have the right product that doesnt leave the seat slippery

 

I use leatherique, it works great, I did a write up on it here in the wash and wax seciton

 

Can you give me the link. Thank you.

I think he meant the thread to his write up.

 

ONE of my favorite Leather Care write ups by a good friend, Michael Mankarious of einszett USA......

 

exceldetail,

have you had any experience, or heard others personal experience with 'RaceGlaze' products? I know the guy that did that absolutely incredible detail job on the Lambo Gallardo in Scotland used several of their products. (here's the url if you've never seen it; LOTS of pictures, but well worth the look/read http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=79859).

 

Filling the cracks and creases with an oil or cream-based product will not effect a cure

Repair scratched, cracked or creased leather

Split leather (by-cut) is subject to stretching and therefore shows creasing more readily, by using this kit from Leather Magic; wipe the leather down with the solution, using the 220 grit paper, this will remove most of the minor creases. Apply 3-4 thin coats of dye (allow to dry between coats) you have the option to spray the final coat with a sprayer (all included in kit) – Leather Magic Repair- http://www.leathermagic.com/

Phew.......Ok I got a little bored looking at that Galladro detail, I couldnt finish reading all the material or finish looking at all the pictures....but I did look at the Race Glaze site. TS I think it really comes down to recommendations from others. I mean this RG stuff could be a sleeper product! Its an OTC product, available at quite a few auto parts stores. Next time Im in NAPA I will look for it! Might be worth a shot if its priced right.
