HELP!

Post by Guest »

Being the moron that I am, I left the sunroof open and of course it rained during the night. I woke up and now my leather seats have spotting from the rain. Is there anything that can be done or am I stuck with some hideous seats?

Thanks

You might try some leather conditioner (in the US we have Eagle brand -- that's what I have). I have never tried to fix water spots with it. Try it on a small, unobtrusive area to test.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Those would be hot... I think it would pull some serious action. Anyway as the seats dry it seems as if the spots aren't actually that prominate and maybe just the water being in those locations made it more intense. So that is a big relief and hopefully I won't leave the sunroof open again but chances are I probably will

It is still a good idea to put some leather conditioner on the seats. I try to treat mine every 4 to 6 months.

i have had really good luck with the "lexol" brand, got mine at the local pep boys. Id try the cleaner and then the conditioner. Not cheap, but might work for ya.

If not, i think strandberg auto in wisconsin sells seat skins (the leather top) that goes over the foam of the seats. make sure if you have side bags you get skins from a car that did, they have break away sewing.
