I noticed the other day that my RED leather passenger seat looks a little faded compared to the driver seat. This is probably due to the fact that driver seat is always covered by me, and the passenger seat empty, getting all the sun.

I don't know if it's me, but red seems to fade quicker than most colors.

I use Lexol regularly, and it doesn't do anything to bring back color. I put some Vinylex on the seat backs and upper side bolsters and WOW. It now looks great and has the same color as the driver seat. It's not greasy at all and did the trick.

This may be a little secret you all can try if your seats looks a little faded? I don't know what it would do to black.

 

Lexol does nothing for faded vinyl, but 303 and Vinylex helps tremendously.

 

Jason,
I'll give it a shot. I just got my Lexol and Vinylex...mostly because of the post "Best leather and/or vinyl protectant for interior?" and seeing pics of your S interior. I was a regular user of Zymol on my CL-S so I thought I would try the Lexol on your recommendation. Now I'll have to give the Vinylex a shot...I also have the red interior and have noticed some fade. Thanks for the tip!

I use Vinylex on my plastic surfaces, but I didn't think it could (should) be used on leather. Does Vinylex make a different product specifically for leather?

As stated above, Lexol is a company--they make vinylex, leather cleaner and leather conditioner.

 

Once it wears off, it'll go back to the faded look. Once faded, it will remain lighter unless you put on a dye that will match the drivers seat. It's probably best to dye both seats the same. Call a furniture place that dyes leathers and have them do your car.

 

don't mean to thread-jack, but do any of these products prevent the "creasing" of leather? No cracking, just the small creases you see when you sit on the leather seats too much.

 

that, 303 would do, too...

or any other leather seat care products from local automotive product stores.
