Poo POO leather
So I am crazy when it comes to my seats I have a 2005 S4 and I see that my seats are starting to crack. I am the type of person that want to keep me seats looking bran new so for the last 2 moths I have been conditioning my seats whit leather cleaner/Conditioner once a week and even sometimes two times a week. This stuff works ok but now well enough I wanted to know if there was anything ells I could use or anything I could do to stop my seats from cracking.
Even the back ones are cracking and no one ever sits back there.
On my old car (2002 bmw 330ci) I never conditioned my seats and they really never cracked I don’t know what it is about this seats
Any help would be great thanks

first what are you using to condition it?

second, conditioning it more often is not allways better.

IMHO that is not cracking that is creasing.

It matters how the leather is cleaned, how it is conditioned and protected. When done properly the life is extended. When done impropperly the cleaner, and conditioners become a sticky goo that attracts dirt and embeds it in the texture of the leather. Over time this abrades away at the protective surface and eventually into the main portion of the leather.

usually at that point someone thinks putting more cheap sticky goo of a conditioner on it helps. There by binding even more oils ans soils into the crack making it spread wider and wider as it is used.

2nd on Grouse's statement, its not cracking its creasing, I had the same seats in my 2004 S4 and it did the same thing. IMO you can't control this as its the type of leather.

Yep your seats look conditioned from the pictures you posted. Just creased/stretched which is just part of owning leather seats. Leather doesn't have the stretch or memory that cloth seats have, so sit in them the leather stretches and it gets marks. Hate to compare it...but I will throw it out there...like human skin. Ok I said it. [:p] Leather is hide and just like skin when stretched it retains marks...in most cases. [rolleyes]

Anyways your seats look fine.

I use to use Lexol, it seemed to work fine but it seemed like it sat on the leather more than it was absorbed. I recently switched over to "leather in a bottle" by Zaino. My leather surfaces eat that stuff up! Plus, it smells amazing...just like new leather seats.

Hope that helps![az]
