Damn you Vanilla Ice

[shaman1204]

Ok, so I went to a Vanilla Ice concert in my neighborhood and in my understandable excitement I totally forgot I left my top down. While enjoying Ice Ice Baby it started to rain. I realized it when I got home, checked the carpet and the computer under the seat, all was good, barely wet. The seats were a bit wet, just wiped them off and closed the top. It was sunny the next morning, so the car sat in the sun for a few hours.

Well, the next morning I opened the door and parts of the seats had shriveled and are cardboard hard. I searched on here and purchased some soffner leather conditioner from colorplus and used the whole pint (not at once, over the course of 7-8 days). Still not soft, I think they're ruined

Anyone have any other ideas, short of replacement? They were in good shape prior to that guy "cookin 'em....like a pound of bacon."

Try Leatherique. It'll fix those seats right up. GREAT, great stuff. My Dad learned about it through the Jaguar club and uses it religiously on the seats in his E-type and XK-120 roadsters. Search this site and you'll see it mentioned in a few posts.

See http://www.leatherique.com

I have no connection with the company.

1. You went to a Vanilla Ice concert.
2. You admitted to going to a Vanilla Ice concert.
3. You drove your Porsche to a Vanilla Ice concert... they may be witnesses.

Try a shoe conditioner too.

Vanilla Ice concert? I'm sorry your poor Boxster took the brunt of the punishment..or did it?

Lexol conditioner works quite well, also.

LOL is all I have to say about that.

Vanilla Ice is still touring? Does he rap the oldies like "Ice Ice Baby"? Last I heard he was trying to convert to metal/rock but that idea tanked.

It's sort of a rap/rock thing. But he did rap to Ice Ice Baby. And it was more like a bar closed off a street for a music festival. It was $5 do get in. He must be hitting hard times.

I also saw Naughty by Nature there the night before and MC Hammer played at the beach last weekend. If I would have caught that I would have hit the early 90"s rap trifecta!

All of the cruel (but deserved) barbs about Vanilla Ice aside, any progress on getting the leather softened up?

I have already used a pint of Soffener to no avail. I have some leatherique restorer on the way, so I'll post results after I try that.
