As if the lexol exaggerated the spots. Will coat one more time to see if the water spots fade away. This I understand is a known issue on the perforated seats.

looks and (more importantly) feels brand new
do you have perforated seats? if yes, how does product work on them and the perforations?

Used to love Lexol for my saddles. Don't feel the same about it for any auto "leather.". Most likey because the leather is already treated with stuff from the factory.

yes i have perforated seats, i just made sure to have a thin layer on my fingers (that was my applicator!) and the fluid did no clog any of the perforations. was very very easy. i think a key is to leave it in the heat and let it penetrate the leather. then a few shots of the cockpit and wipe right off.

The Porsche leather is treated and as a result, will not absorb water. If you are applying anything to perforated seats, be careful since the perforations can absorb and the swell. The are photos of this and it does not look good. Our leather has a top coat clear coat and keeping the leather clean is key. Then applying a sacrificial layer on top will provide some further protection to the leather’s topcoat.
