Leather Peeling

[Aggie2000]

After owning my truck for a few weeks I noticed that the driver seat appear to be peeling where my right thigh would be. I don’t wear anything crazy. No cargo pants or shorts that have buckles. Has anyone seen anything like this? The dealer is claiming it is an abrasion, but I have no idea what would cause something like this. I assume I’m just out of luck.

Thats sucks. Something sharp looks like it did that. Buttons on your pants? Ends of a waist rope that you sat on? The reason I say that is because of the two lines that are pretty clear. If it was from your leg rubbing (flat pants or skin) and it were a defect, You wouldnt see lines like that. It would be more spread. Is it peeling or just marks? Can always do a seat cover? Katskin.

What two lines are you seeing. I don’t see any sort of pattern in this that resembles anything. If I saw a straight gash or two I could probably justify that maybe someone did this. But again I I don’t wear anything that would cause this.

Looks like abrasion to me too. Could have been you, could have been a tech.

Shoe polish can help hide it, or get covers... Leather is going to patina anyway, yours just got an early start.

Thanks oh well. Who knows maybe it was the lady who doesn’t want to fess up when she took it for a few joy rides.

Ladies ring perhaps?

It looks like abrasion. A bit of leather cream should help blend it back in.

Mike I had a similar mark appear on my passenger seat last summer, it was from a passengers sweaty leg.
I did what Thomas @Theherofails suggested above. I used Chemical Guys leather cleaner and then their leather conditioner and it was gone.

Just get seat covers for your brand new seats. #fordtough

I think that was it.

Do you need anything on than the cleaner and conditioner?

That is all I use on my leather seats. I use a micro fiber, wipe it down with the cleaner and then follow that with the conditioner. You will probably have to massage that one spot a touch more than the rest of the seats. That is if you plan on doing the whole set of seats. Your ride is so new you wouldn't have to though.
