[I should have said creases, not cracks]

My seat has been creased (on the left driver seat ribcage area) for a bit now, but I never worried too much until today. I noticed what seems to be a tiny hole. I didn't want to fuss with it too much (and make it worse). The tiny pin prick type hole is the beggining of the end for my seats, isn't it?

What now? I have been pretty good about conditioning the seats. I use Armor All leather protectant/cleaner. I suppose I could have done a better job, but you know how things like that creap up on you.

If the seats get worse, is purchasing a new seat my only option? Has anyone seen/done restorations?

Cheers,
Paul

Armor All leather protectant/cleaner is bad stuff. Do not use it on leather -- it will shorten the life of the leather, not extend it.

What? Why is that?

I suppose you have reason to believe it does, but how can the product stay on the market? That's absurd!

lexol enough said.
armoral is just plain crap.

Emrillive,

So is lexol the poor ingredient or something I should use?

I use coach leather cleaner and moisturizer. Expensive but works like a charm.

Thanks Rick,

WTF. I guess I took them at their word ("protects and cleans"). I have been using it for a year. Wonderful!

I may as well been buying a brillo pad chammi.
