Lol.
I guess that would explain why my truck seats didnt do as great of a job as I was hoping absorbing the leather conditioner I applied. I was getting all pumped to apply it again this spring to see my results, but the above makes sense. Had a similar experience with the Acura as well. My couch on the other hand just soaked it up and got super pliable.

Re: Leather conditioner
Okay. This is interesting. I want to believe him and he makes good points but dont any of these products protect the seat from sun or restore the color and mobility?

Re: Leather conditioner
Its like someone put a coat of plastic over your leather. Like a condom. Nothing is getting through unless you have a crack. You can get UV protectors, but they are only good for so long. Good cab humidity and sunblock via tint would be best spent.

Re: Leather conditioner
Never did use leather conditioner is any of my leather cars/trucks and never had any issues. Then again I have tinted everything other than the Jeep and typically don't have something long enough to develop issues.

Re: Leather conditioner
Vira's car has these aftermarket seats. There were in it when she bought it, and I don't think she knows who made them.
They look nice, but they're hard as rocks. The worn out stock seats in my Stealth were a lot softer. The Spyder seats were somewhere in between. I don't know if it's due to being parked outside most of its life, or just because of how they're made, or what.
I tried a spash of water on the passenger seat. It sat right on top of the leather. It didn't even seep into the perforations.
If anyone has any suggestions how to soften these things up, I'd love to hear it. Maybe we just need to stick a humidifier in the car for a few hours
And if anyone has a fix for those limp ass seatbelts, I'd love to hear that too. Cleaning them helps, but it's not a fix for the worn out 25+ year old springs.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Re: Leather conditioner
One of the "locals" here bought a one owner 3000GT years back. I met him right after he bought it and this was probably 04 or 05. The leather in that car was so ridiculously supple and apparently the original owner used only baby oil on the seats.

I have the original owner's receipt in my paperwork.
Oh, and you will be happy I was paying attention when you gave me that article. Even if you forgot.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?
