Hi,

my 2004 acura TL's driver side seats show far more scuff marks than my dad's 2001 acura TL ... I dont know if Acura used a different kind of leather or what.
when i say leather wear, that means those random lines on leather, not the damage.
Now the thing is, I am sure that some of you guys might be having similar problem with seat leather. I want to fix it so I googled and searched this forum but couldn't find anything.
Someone please guide me in right direction

I don't think there is a fix for it.
If there is, I sure would like to know.
Just be careful not to sit on your bolsters. Lol
I learned that from owning a s2k. Those bolsters are notorious for wear.

My seats are over 6 years old and have very minimal wear marks. I always use a leather conditioner once a month however. Have you applied any products to them?

I don't think there's a product out there to remove those marks. Best you can do is apply leather conditioner on them every now and then. Make sure to clean them properly first. Oils from skin contact can deteriorate leather over time. It's best to give them a good wipe after washing your car. I wash mine once a week and clean my seats with an APC diluted 15:1 to make it safe for leather cleaning.

You can always use either shoe polish which will eventually come off. I used it when I traded in my car. The dealer always screws you so I figured why not haha. I wouldn't recommend it cause its not a long term solution to reduce the sight of the marks. However, you can try a leather shop and ask them for some dye. The might even have a filler that will help keep any cracks from getting worse.
