Drivers seat looking a little worn

Is there anything I can use to bring the drivers seat back to life a little???? It's worn on one side and i don't want it to get any worse. I guess this is normal on a seat that's nearly four years old.

What colour is it Mike?
You could do well, by giving the seats a really good deep clean, something like this kit from LTT would be good.

They also do repair kits if you have fading or cracking.

Failing that there are specialists that can make them look like new again in situ. Just depends how bad you think they are?
This is one done in Scotland, but it gives you an idea of what can be achieved.

Could be worth emailing some pictures to Judy at LTT, she'll tell you whats achievable without getting a professional in.
You can get exact colour matches to the repair kits too, by sending a tiny sample of the leather (taken from under the seat) to them.
As it's Alpacca, I'd startby giving it a thorough clean (you might need a couple of attempts), then see how they look afterwards.
Then you can decide if you want to carry out any repairs or get a specialist to help. Smile ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Mike,
Could you post a picture up,mine went on my last SE down the side under the bolster and LR covered it under warranty,I've got a feeling that it isn't even leather but vinyl even on my new HSE.
If it is that and it's cracked as mine was I don't think there is much you can do so a picture would help. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

^^^ Fair point Chris, I think due to the height and most people 'sliding' on the seats to get in/out, that causes quite a lot of stress on that part. Audi had a similar problem on their bolsters and would replace under warranty with enough whining Rolling Eyes Wink
Re the material, mine are definitely leather I believe (standard HSE leather). The only non leather on there is some suedette type material on the corners I think. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Mine was exactly the same and in the end it split the leather. I have an upholsterer friend who will replace the split piece
when I get a chance to give it to him.
