Angry Need advise

Guys just bought my C4S and I want to know what is the best way to prevent the seats from creasing. The car is brand new, has the sport seats and unbelievably has creasing already....freeking 130 miles. Am I being a ***** or is there something I could do or is this normal? The seats are full power so I could adjust the hardness of the lower seat supports, but the dealer suggested I leave them soft. Any thoughts

Same thing happened on my E55 with adaptive/dynamic sport seats, that's why I ordered regular sport seats on my 07 C2S. Once they crease there's not much you can do .

The seats should be the last thing on your mind. If it really bothers you, order a new set. You sound almost as bad as a ferrari owner

But one thing the italians do right is say "what is behind you is not important".

Believe me I know, but I just bought the dam thing and paid 100K. I guess you are right, but I am so type A personality its scary. I just was wondering if I should leave the sport seat lower side support firm maybe they will not get worst?

Lose weight I kid, I kid. It's pretty much natural for any leather seat, don't be too worried. Did you get the supple leather, because I would imagine the softer the leather, the quicker it'll crease.

Drive the d*mned car and stop being a wuss! If you wanted to be a Q-tip Queen you should have bought a Lexus. This car is meant for driving and to hell with creases.

Yes, true, but no matter what kind of car you have, you are going to get creases in it. that goes for Porsches, lambos, etc etc.

Man you guys are rough!!!! Leon is just concerned about keeping his prized posssession clean and new looking...I can't blame him one bit! Leon I have the supple leather seats in my c2s and I just keep them mositurized and so far no creasing. The seats come from the factory pretty dry. I have been using Lexol but Zanio and many others have excellent products as well. I understand you trying to keep your car ultra clean, I am the same way bro, and I do drive the car...2019 miles in 3 weeks!

Does Lexol conditioner leave the seats oily? That is a concern that I have. I have the Lexol cleaner and it works pretty well, but never tried the conditioner because of my concerns. How do yo apply it?

No, Lexol is not oily.....if you are not conditioning the new seats and only cleaning them no wonder they are creasing and cracking. The new seats are already very dry from the factory and need some conditioning right away...if you just use a cleaner and do not condition them I bet your leather seats are extremely dry!

The car only has 130 miles so I will go out and get me some Lexol Cond. I have it garaged so the sun is not beating it up, I appreciate the advice. I will test a small area to see the effects.
