So from: http://www.leatherinstitute.com/products_complete.cfm
the only thing that you use is their "FL-CCP"?

Do you have any experience with their Rub-In Color Compound?

yea, i buy the quart size.

i haven't used the rub-in product because i haven't needed to.

i would call them to get specific instructions on how to use the rub-in and/or which product to buy to "restore" the appearance.

there is a member in this thread...from 2004 that works there...i don't know if he is still there...but i'd just call them.

I just used the lexol cleaner and conditioner this weekend. After cleaning I see this:

There are some new wrinkles in the leather not from wear, but more like "pruney" skin. Is there any way to get rid of this?

So if you have something similar to this (spider webbing) on the leather, what can be done to correct this?

I'm pretty sure it's either get it refinished or maintain it as best you can (clean and treat).

Bump. I am having the same spider webbing issue with red leather seats in a MY08

Anyone have a solution ?

Would an upholsterer actually be able to repair it ?
