    Leather seat question

    Just purchased an 06 Jetta and had a question about my leather seats. They seem to be in ok condition but am gonna get it cleaned and treated. However, there are some creases/folds on the drivers seat and was wondering if there was any way to fix it. I have noticed the older vw's with leather seats seem to get this way. Here's a picture of the seat.

    boon,

    unfortunately the wrinkles you can't get rid of as all leather will wrinkle.

    you can only avoid the cracking unfortunately.

    However, if it has never been looked after (which it looks like it hasn't). I'd suggest the Leatherique Rejuvenating System followed by Duragloss 221 Leather Conditioner when completed and just follow every 3/4 months with shampoo and conditioner to keep it soft, feeling and smelling good.

    The only other solution, retrim. But it doesnt look that bad to me

    boon,

    Genuinely you are better off doing it yourself i think. You will get the same result and you can redo it anytime you feel the need be.

    Grab the 250ml bottles of each, and some duragloss 221 and dont drive it for a day and you will be set. Do all the seats and save yourself some money at the same time.

    Yep +1 to the above.

    Ditch the Meguiars Leather Cleaner/Conditioner. I've used it before and don't like it. It's a compromised solution.
    The separate cleaner and conditioner is much nicer.
    No point paying a professional to wipe your seats for you... if you have a Jetta then you may have kids, so just pay one of them $5 to do it

    I learned long time ago that there is not a brand that would have all their products excellent. I also used Meguiars on our Touareg leather and after 3 years changed to Autoglym and I'm happy with it. As others say; it shouldn't be 2in1 product, it doesn't seem to work on leather.
