this wrinkle at the drivers seat seems like it needs repainting? I tried looking at replacement seats and its not something I would wanna consider if there's a way to fix this or at least make it look better than bunch of wrinkles.. i have read about several suggestions on the thread that talks about wrinkles but this one ive got is too deep... any suggestions?

(i hope to have uploaded the pic successfully.. if not i have to email them to you)

 

Ahh, cracks/wrinkles in the leather. Over time, most leather seats end up looking like this. Although you cannot remove the wrinkles, a dye-job can smooth them out somewhat and blend them in better with the surrounding material. I have my drive seat dyed about once a year, on the bolster area that gets worn from getting in and out of the car. A mobile service that does dent repair and scratch touchups in my area does a really good job. They custom mix the dye on site to match the color perfectly. The scratch that was on glove box cannot even be found anymore. They supposedly 'warranty' their work from re-occurring (and we don't clean it with harsh solvents) so i'll be testing that theory this spring when I show them my seat again. We'll see.

 

thanks... i have checked the websites posted on the leather restoration thread... I do have 3 stores in my area...ill check some of the on-site detailing guys if they could help me out after I buy the materials.. will take pics when its done

 

I have used Leatherique with great success. They have perfect match leather dyes. There is also a crack filler that can be used on severely cracked leather. The Atlanta Jaguar Society is holding a tech session, bringing in a professional from Leatherique on 02/21/09. If any Jag owners are in the Atlanta, GA area, let me know and I can give you more info on it.
