I recently bought a Honda accord 2006 Ex. The leather seats are all wrinkled and it gives the interior an old look. Is there a way to fix it https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resi...MDfDc7hwkKcEBk?

Re: Leather Wrinkles: How to fix it.
I'd say no. It's skin.
Wrinkles in skin has been a problem for people since the beginning of time. lol
Especially those parts, those are suppose to be wrinkly. I know there probably more wrinkled then original but there really isn't anything you can do. -

Swissvax makes a product called leather healer, which is a dye that you can do yourself. They also have a leather grinding pad to smooth down ruff texture. Look into other Swissvax products for leather restoration.Comment

Re: Leather Wrinkles: How to fix it.
Leather swells when it is hydrated and shrinks when it dries. Try wiping the leather down with a wrung out towel daily for a week and toss the damp towel under your seats for the rest of the day. Take care not to let mold develop in this process. This should cause the leather to swell and may lessen the wrinkles. Keep the leather regularly hydrated and this will minimize wrinkles and creases.
IMO, a heat gun is not a good solution as it will cause the leather to dry even more. Dry leather will tend get hard and will crease and could crack.Jim

Re: Leather Wrinkles: How to fix it.
Put several all cotton towels in a bowl and saturate with water, put in microwave and get them VERY hot, use gloves to remove from mw and wring out the towels just so they don't drip, apply to wrinkled leather and let sit or hold in place till towels cool, remove and as leather cools and drys some/all the wrinkles will be gone. Very old school method.Comment
