Default my seats are starting to wrinkle =X

I got my car when it had 8500 miles and the seats were FLAWLESS. i mean they looked brand new, and now after 1000 miles of driving there's wrinkles everywhere in my drivers seat =[

is it possible to get rid of them and make it look brand new again?

Sounds like you need to treat your leather seats with a good leather protectant - don't use armor all on leather!. There are many products out there, I use stuff from Griots Garage There is also stuff available at your auto parts store. Or you can try stuff from Autopia Carcare that some of the folks here seem to use.

I use Lexol products on my seats. I've tried Meguiers Gold Glass leather conditioner, but didn't like it too much.

I had the same problem. A friend gave me Johnson's leather cleaning and leather preservative products. He thought they stank up his car. I used them this weekend -- outside with the top down -- and I found they to be fine. I think it's pretty much taking care of the wrinkling.

However, if you want the best leather care product -- don't laugh at the name -- use Harness Honey. When I'm done using up the donated Johnson products I plan to switch.

at this point, a lot and I mean of lot of leather conditioning may revive them. I always clean separately from a condition.
On the other side of the coin, down the line you may want to consider a seat such a BRIDE or SPoon so there is no leather to deal with

You have one of two problems...

1. Your seats are beginning to wrinkle from the way you sit in them, it is fine and natural, let it be (not very likely)

2. The natural wrinkles you have in the seats are beginning to get dirt in them, hence they become more obvious. I would first use a good leather cleaner like the Townsend Finished Leather Cleaner, followed by a proper conditioner.

You can find the Townsend/Leather Institute Products at Rick's or www.townsendleather.com or www.leatherinstitute.com
