Default How is your leather wearing?

Almost at 2k miles and I see some creasing in the side bolsters and on the sides. How would you rate the leather? I don't have cooled seats, so I have the S Sport seats. I do clean the leather bi-monthly and condition it monthly.

Do you have the fine nappa or the standard leather (with the Alcantara in the middle).

I'm not wearing the leather, but interesting idea! ;-)

(so far my nappa seats look as good as new just > 3k miles.)

I have the rotor gray and at 7,400 miles looks great! I'm realistic and know some creases will develop over time, especially in the bottom side bolsters but so far still looks great! Same here, cleaner and conditioner / serum every couple months.

If you sit on the side bolsters as most people do when you get out of the car it will cause creasing in the leather, it's a natural product and unavoidable.

To avoid this you may have to enroll in a part time gymnastics course and could then possibly learn to do an Arab spring with pike out of the car to egress, hard work for sure but as an upside you can get your family to mark you out of 6 for technical ability and artistic merit each time you arrive home.
