Stomach Acid

[RandallNeighbour]

I've not found "new" seats at a dismantler for a $1000. They're more like 1800.00 in new or like new condition. Older seats with wear marks where the driver has slid into the seat year after year (just like the ones I have) now are $1000.

My local upholstry shop said they'd recover each of my seats front, back and sides for no more than $500 each, by the way. If the slides and electronic back adjustments work fine, this may be a good way for you to go if the stains don't come out.

And while it must have been very humbling to post this question on this forum, I want to thank you... I always wondered what that crusty crap was on my passenger seat that stained and hardened the perforated leather, and now I know it was a previous owner's girlfriend or buddy's puke!

It just has to be the results of highly acidic vomit. I found marajuana in the cracks of both seats so I know it was owned by at least one person who loved to party.

Hope you learned your lesson though. Anticipate the multi-color yawn well in advance next time and find a curb in which to

(oh, there's never been a better time to use that emoticon!!!)

Go to http://www.leatherique.com and check out their restoration kit. It has a great cleaner, and leather rejuvenator to soften it back up. I've used this stuff on my 19 year old leather in the 928 and it's soft again like factory new.

The Leatherique products are amazing. I spent some time with them earlier this year and learned a lot about leather and leather care. I need to order some more stuff from them so I can do my seats.

Thanks everyone. I'll try a little harder to soften the leather up. I'll try to post pics, when I get the chance. Reupholstering is probably going to be the ultimate finale. *sigh...

Oh btw.. randall, ebay shows the dismantler (whom I've dealt with before) selling a pair of seats on ebay. However, you are right. These are no way close to being like new condition. Mine are in better condition, I think.

I emailed www.leatherique.com, and they replied the following:

"I would definately recommend at least a pint of the Rejuvenator and Prestine Clean, both on sale for $35. The Rejuvenator is a professional, leather specific protein collagen complex that will be absorbed directly into the hide to restore tensile strength, luxurious suppleness, and good health back into the leather, and expel dirt to the surface where it can be cleaned away with your Prestine Clean. "

Ahahaha... I had to exhume this thread. I don't often do stuff like this, but I thought it would be worth a laugh...
