Seat Creases

Just wondering if there is a way to remove the seat creases. My LX sport has creases mainly on the driver side on the seat bottom part closest to the door. Look for some tips and tricks from the experts here. I use Zaino leather in a bottle to condition them. They look good minus the creases.

Thanks.

Short of reupholstering, don't think you can remove creases from the seats.

Contact Roger Koh at LeatherDoctor.com, I talked to him about this for a while and he swears it will work and is known on the detail forums, but its not gonna be a $10 bottle of conditioner so prepare yourself to sink some money in.

They aren't creases, it's called "patina"

I have used these products, and they worked well on the cracks in my old Volvo and BMW. Very time consuming, but results were impressive. I don't know how they would work on American car leather, as I have only used them on Foreign cars.

I use leatherique on mine and IMO it is no better than an OTC on my MM or on my 4runner. I don't know if the MM leather is clear coated, if so that will make a big difference in ease of removal.

The leather is creasing as the cushion underneath is worn/squished. If you were to add to the material under the leather cover it would tighten and remove some of the crease.

Thanks for all the replies, especially the helpful ones. The leatherdoctor site is down I'll check on that later.

Interesting note about the cushions. I know for the CVPI there is a seat repair kit that includes a new bottom cushion but that is for '02-. Anyone know of such a kit for the '03+?

the cushion for the Marauder is discontinued. CV cushions should be easy.
