Worn spot in leather? I have Katzkin seats in my Formula and they have no cracks or tears, looks like new except for a spot that looks as if it is worn out (kinda hard to explain).
If I clean the seat and not treat with conditioner, the spot is almost not visible once dry. When I condition the seat, the area looks as good as the rest of the seat but eventually that spot fades back to looking like untreated leather (while the rest of the seat looks as if it was just conditioned). Tried several different conditioners with the same result (Meguiars, Surf City, Tanner's, etc).
So what should I do to fix this problem before it gets worse? Thanks!

I don't have any personal experience with this but have read about it on Autopia.org
I would suggest looking around over there. A quick search should yield some good results.

Although I do not see color on my rag when I treat or clean that area. Texture does look more worn in that area than the rest of the seat. Not cracked, and not worn all the way through either.
Already tried contacting Katzkin to purchase a new piece (middle section of seat), but they only sell as a whole kit.
