    Re: Think it’s time to treat my leather seats

    Keep them clean and protected and your seats will last a long time. The wrinkles are going to happen unless you don`t sit on the seats.

    I would consider looking at the color lock system. Looks like a good product line. They have some good videos on the rag company and obsessed garage channel. They recommend their protector for vehicles 3 years or older followed by leather shield. It looks nice from what I have seen.

    The next thing is if you want to use one of the leather coatings (cquartz leather, gyeon leather shield, etc.).

    I always wonder about the Coatings for Leather...how do you remove what`s left of them when the time comes to redo?

    CarPro Inner Scrub Glove will remove it. Abrasion is what will remove it.

    Re: Think it’s time to treat my leather seats

    Eh, I`d want top remove it, but I would *NOT* want to do anything to my leathers via abrasion. I understand the idea/plan (i.e., "be gentle and it`ll go OK") but I wouldn`t do it, period.

    Just said as much to somebody in a PM when he sent me a link of a guy using a Magic Eraser on leather seats; I`ve brought back truly *TERRIBLE* ones without needing to do that.

    Heh heh, yeah...I also realize that many will think I`m being overly cautious and goofy about it Abrade your seats if you want, and if you do I wish you good luck (and I genuinely mean that, hope it turns out OK).

    So then you’re essentially not going to sit on your seats. You’re essentially abrading the surface anytime you get in and out.

    Not, IMO, to the same extent. And it must not be much abrasion since my leather holds up fine for decades without any real attention.

    Eh, not arguing, and I don`t like that I probably sound like it Just saying that I wouldn`t do *intentional* abrasion to redo some particular leather treatment, but then I don`t need to coat them anyhow and if I did I`d quite possibly see it differently.
