Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 13y 28d Posted 11/11/13 01:59 PM Share Posted 11/11/13 01:59 PM (edited) Hi G6 Sorry about that I had missed the "to" in your post, all good.Rab I don't know what real leather is which is why I'm asking. I don't want to apply something on my seats and chose the wrong product just like how people have used certain types of Dashboard polish and it made it crack more rather than prevent it.My Friends Audi is very old and has quite a few KM on it, and the leather seats do not have any cracks on it and it does not get conditioned reguarly. Now the FG's that I've seen including my low KM one seem to get cascading lines on the side bolsters which I take it is normal, can this be prevented or do most leather seats do this by nature, because my friends Audi did not do it. My Passengers chair which has been sat on before has no creases or lines at all. There could be thousands of different materials certain seats are made of and I'm wondering is there a certain leather protector that must be used on certain seats, I know Ferrari has a genuine care kit that is reccomended for their type of leather.

I purchased some leather cleaning/conditioning products to restore the leather in my F6. You wont be able to avoid the creases but you can at least minimise them using the right products.I would avoid any of the usual Supercheap/Repco/Etc brands and spend a little more and buy a specialist product.

It's okay, I used to use it but have found it was a touch greasy. I use http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/autobrite/alcantara_and_suede_surface_cleanerandhttp://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/autoglym/leather_cleanerFor my seats as they are leather/alcantara but I would seriously suggest you grab some happy snaps and send them through to them and they will advise the best products Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84556-leather-or-cloth-trim-fg/page/8/#findComment-1439514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
