    You are treating seats who are 50% not made of leather?

    Leather conditioner lexol

    I haven't found one yet, I've tried leather masters and it smelt like urine, and lexol smells a bit lemony. Granted I haven't put much work into it but if you search the forums I'm sure you'll find something

    I have no idea about the previous owner, but i've had the car for just over 2 years and i've never used a product on the seats... wipe with a damp microfiber towel, that's it and they still look great.

    The center section is leather, the side bolsters are vinyl and crack, ask me how I know
    The recaros are 100% leather IIRC

    Just picked up a set of recaro's- the bolster is a little worn and some cracks on the driver seat. Any tips or products to make that less noticeable?

    I use the Chemical Guys leather conditioner, smells like leather and seems to work well...

    Usually wipe everything down with their leather cleaner before conditioning.

    X2. I've found this stuff by searching and ordered some. I've done a couple of treatments on my B5 seats and they are improving immensely. The leather smell in the car is stronger now to.

    Best out there is leatherique. Nothing you can buy at the local Autozone or NAPA or Walmart comes close. SRSLY

    Try Zaino. I have used the Z9 and Z10 for years. Does not leave a bunch of residue and the Z10 (Leather in a bottle) smells like new leather. The smell is not overwhelming to me but may be to some.

    So back to one of the original comments. Which part of my 2008 A4's leather seats is not leather? Just the side bolsters? How about the rear seats?
