Lightbulb Good way to get rid of leather creases on seats?

Howdy! My driver-side seat is okay, but the passenger-side seat is getting some decent creases and accordion-style marks. The seats are pretty new, so it is triggering my OCD.

I have seen solutions online such as using some soap/lotion on the leather and then using a hair dryer to tighten the leather?

Has anyone tried to repair the seats before?

Remove OEM seat, replace with armchair.

Just put a sign on your door that says "you must weight this much to ride" and ban all the people who exceed that weight for "safety" reasons.

Alright alright, I'll approach it. I like the armchair idea though. But I am trying to lose at Autocross, so it may weigh me down.

But how do I get these wrinkles out?

what do old ladies use for wrinkles? a leather seat is just a bag of old cow skin without the meat part...

you need a leather conditioner.

but just remember-- how well do all those wrinkle creams that ladies will spend untold thousands on at removing wrinkles...

I use Palmer's cocoa butter cream!! Smells like chocolate and you'll be amazed what it does to wrinkles.. Bonus, it contains vitamin E, no idea why this is a good thing but it is.


'The secret of cocoa butter is that it melts at just below body temperature – therefore the moment you apply Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula to your skin, it absorbs deeply and evenly to leave your skin soft and silky smooth.

The original classic moisturiser; this unique 'solid' formula contains the highest concentration of cocoa butter, making it the perfect choice to soften, smooth and relieve rough, dry skin.

Containing pure Cocoa Butter enriched with Vitamin E, this cult classic is an excellent all over body moisturiser and after tanning butter.

Smoothes and blends marks, scars and stretch marks, leaving your body feeling silky soft and smooth.

Ideal for deep moisturisation and overnight use, this emollient base is especially effective for drier, rougher areas of the body such as elbows, knees and cracked heels.'
