Hi ppl,
I bought bmw leather protection kit and their interior care solution a couple of wks ago and decided to try them out on my 3 wks old car...i did what the instructions told me...to vacuum dust or use a moist cloth to wipe the leather first before applying the solution. Well i did the latter and used a moist microfibre cloth to wipe my seats b4 proceeding to the smelly solution and finally the fragrant interior care solution.

However, after ard a few days, i begin to see creases on my side lumber support...i wonder if it's me being paranoid (was it there b4) or perhaps something to do with my interior cleaning that day...?

any ideas ?

And if i wish to replace the leather with brand new one...is it possible and at wad cost ?

Hope someone can help...thx

I think all leather will crease just like leather shoes. But you better not tell her she has wrinkles.

Can you take pictures? I have seat creases at the corner of the drivers seat in the main square where you would sit.

That's what leather does. Post some pics so we can tell if it's at all unusual.

Cost to replace would be too high, so I don't think its worth it just because you got few creases.
