I recently started a thread asking how everyone's leather was holding up, for comparison purposes. I purchased my 2012 Accord EX-L about 2 months ago and have noticed how the leather is creasing and wrinkling quicker than I expected. It is a 3 year old car so it obviously had some wear from the previous owner, I just don't know if this is excessive or not. We had a 1999 GMC Suburban and the leather had plenty of wrinkles, but it was about 12 years old before we traded it in, most of those years with kids crawling all over the seats...so that's to be expected I suppose. Some of you asked for pics so here they are! This is what the leather looks like right after a cleaning and conditioning treatment. Cleaned with a mixture of 15% or so of Woolite Delicate's in water, then conditioned with Lexol leather conditioner. As you can see in some of the pics, there are spots where the vinyl has either worn off, or has been scratched off. I saw a couple small cracks in the right passenger seat bolster also. Normal or not?
Drivers lower left seat bolster
Pressing on drivers seat
Sitting in drivers seat
Passengers right upper seat bolster, notice the small cracks
Small crack in rear seat
Overall the seats look decent, its just the creasing/wrinkling and the small cracking that worries me
