I have a few small indentations in my leathers seats from sitting boxes on them at one point. Has anyone had any success at smoothing them out? If so, please share with me.

 

My suggestion would be to lay a damp (NOT wet) cloth over the indents and then take an iron on silk setting and gently smooth it over the area. Don't try to iron it; just let the moisture do the work. Don't touch any painted surface.

However, to be safe, you may want tp go to a reputable detail shop and ask their advice before trying the above. They may have a better way. Be sure and slip them a fiver for their trouble.

 

Hair dryer May work as well as long as it is not overheated

 

leather conditioner and a nice hot day. Just keep adding the conditioner and letting it soak in.

 

Here is a story makes me cry. This week I stuffed my Audi S5 carbin and trunk with full of Coke cans and bottles, then I cannot see nothing from my mirror because of moving stock out of my friend's business. After two days, when I'm doing my regular interior cleaning, I'm shocked. My back seats and front seats backs are full of deep identations, due to the weight of those cans and the edge of the steel cans. Now things get a bit interesting. what should I do? I will post some photos for everyone to have a fun time....

 

If its a front seat and it is heated after running the damp cloth over turn the seat warmer on or try a heating pad. Iron sounds scary.

 

+1 that worked for me

 

if you are in a hot climate you should never leave cans or bottles in your car, i left some in my garage and then we had a pretty hot day, they exploded and sprayed coke everywhere

 

Brutal. Soft leather is fairly malleable, especially when hot. The iron on a damp cloth is a good suggestion - so long as the cloth is still wet, it won't overheat. You can also use a hair dryer or even a heat gun, but you do need to be careful not to overheat.


I have a similar dent in my back seat, which I will probably remove and attempt to gently remove with a hair dryer. Massage and smooth the leather as you go.
