Oh I get you! It shouldn't have happened, but hopefully they'll sort it for you

Saddle soap is all you need Works wonders on anything leather and costs half the price of all the branded names

Ah yes, I showed them the mark yesterday and the guy immediately put me in for a thursday service. However, another guy who booked me in, I sorta ripped into him that its been the third time that I've had to go back to the garage to fix my car and he immediately lost his confidence.. . Can't believe I've got to go back again really... Is annoying me now...

Lol, I use Mr Sheen for the dash, but recently found something much better... for the dash that is! It brings back the shine as though it were a new car and I can't remember what its called... But its made by Turtle wax!

Mine were also looking very bad:




the leather just started peeling of, terrible!

The dealer had them replaced, since this occured after only 16000km (or 10k miles) and only 6 months old. They were not cleaned in that time.

But now, again 16000 km later (and approximately 7 or 8 months), my new and regularly cleaned (with autoglym leather cleaner & care cream) seats look exactly the same. They are again damaged.

The dealer is looking into it. Quality of these (expensive!) lounge seats isn't that good...

Sorry to hear that Crossbyte! I understand how annoying it is to have to go back to the garage and tell them the same problem is occuring even though they've fixed it... Speaking of which, I do need to give my chairs a quick clean this week if the weather is sunny...
