Default How do you stop leather seats creasing?

After recently getting some new leather red seats , I want to do my best to stop the leather from creasing?

Other then wiping with Autoglym leather protectant what else can I do to keep them from creasing?

The Autoglym seems to be adding the squeek factor too someone will be along shortly with a miracle cure to offer

I find the Leather Protectant Cream is good but lasts a few days. I find myself rubbing it weekly now....THE SEAT that is!

There's not much you can do really, treating them will help but you will still get crease. I remember at the Motorexpo a few years ago when they had a brand new S there for the week. On the first day the seats were mint, but by the end of the week they had already started to crease due to the number of people getting in and out of it (probably hundreds over the week).

The worst part is the drivers right bolster, so try to avoid catching it when you get in.
