ok i just got my rx and the owner before me did not know what leather lotion was. he took very good care of the car but the leather seats need some help does any one have any sugestions

hope

 

It's likely it has simply worn out(the drivers side at least). If leather conditioner does nothing, you may want to have the areas in question recovered at an upholstery shop. You'd be surprised how good they look with fresh leather.

 

do you know how much that will run me

 

Depends on the leather and the shop. My father just had the seats in his Vette done at a local shop. The repair on the seats was about $200 each seat (to repair the bolster and a few other areas, not a complete recover).

The leather matches perfect and you would never know they have been repaired.

 

I was quoted $400 per seat for custom recover in Indy

first link is what appears to be a quality refurbishing product...

second link is from a guy trying and apparently accomplishing quality refurbishing of a ferrari interior...i know maybe ferrari/connoly leather may react differently to the products as opposed to shitty mazda leather...but if its good enough for a ferrari?...im gonna say its probly good for mazdas leather?

just some links i found and am planning on using in the future. like i said if its good for a ferrari...its gotta be good for my shitty leather!!

hope this helps.

 

I've always had good luck with Lexol and lots of elbow grease.

 

thak all of you for your suggestions they are bound to help!!!
