Hi, I have some slight wear on the drivers seat bolster, not enough that the leather is perforated or torn. The color is LC Cashmere Beige with Black piping.
I wondered whether I could refinish/recolor this myself and if anyone could recommend any kits?
I was also hoping to swap the seat backs to reduce further wear, although my drivers has 8 way adjustment and the passenger is 4. Does anyone know whether this is a simple swap of the seat backs?
Thanks! Phil.

I had a similar issue. Took it to the best upholstery guys in town and they recommended tons of conditioner. Since then I use a bunch of Groits Leather care products. I usually leave the conditioner on overnight. Parking in the sun helps too. The cracks are disappearing and the leather has come back to life! HTH?

I find that the cracks slowly seem smaller, they NEVER go away completely. The seats seem soft and pliable for a long time.

PS I know it may invalidate my man code membership, but I usually read and follow the directions as well as I can....

First I thoroughly clean with oder nuetralizing leather cleaner. Then I park in the sun and let the interior warm up, then I slather on(quite thickly) the Leather Rejuvenator. Let it sit a long time, reapply leave in the sun. At sundown I take a clean microfiber towel and wipe it down. In your case, I would do cit again the next day.
