So while visiting Phoenix, AZ a few weeks ago I decided to leave my windows cracked a few inches because of the 113 deg. weather. Durring the time we were indoors a thunder storm rolled by and got the leather seats wet in my 2008 XC70. After it dried it became rock hard. Very uncomfortable to ride back to california sitting on. Is there anyway I can restore the leather's plushness?

Autoglym, Lexol or Leatherique are all highly recommended. I put Autoglym first as I have used it for more than 20 years.
