The leather on my driver seat is turning blue from where my jeans rub... how can I fix this?! How can I protect the seat from this in the future?!?!?!

 

Well buy tan colored jeans of course! Just kidding....have you given them a good clean and then treatment with something premium like Lexol?? I hope so, should have been the first thing. Our seats (parchment leather, I have them too) are almost cream colored so expect the inevitable. On mine, so far so good but I made sure that the protectant went on (twice actually) before I even sat in it.

But, I'm not the expert. Go to Autopia.org on the web, they're the gurus of detailing cars inside and out. You'll have to navigate through their forums like in here but all of them have to do with specific detailing problems and you'll probably find something in there that'll help.

Good luck, Mark.

 

Anyone else having issue with the parchment leather interior in regards to discoloring?

My jeans actually did the same thing once. It freaked me out. It came out with Meguir's Leather Conditioner/Cleaner no problem though. The only problem that I have now, is the wrinkling on my seat on the door side. It keeps wrinkling, and it stinks! I should probably just condition them a lot. Anyways, I sympathize.

I had tan leather in my '03. The discoloring and the wrinkles are just 2 of the reasons I have cloth now. (3rd is the cloth just feels better to me.)

A REALLY good leather should get the stains out. A good conditioner (applied often) will help keep the wrinkles away. I think Blue Coral makes good leather products for the low price.
