My 99 looked great almost new but some scuffs down the left side of the driver seat. till I busted out my drivers window and the guys at the first body shop before i moved it could not put a car cover on right they taped it on the back then opened the hood and put the front under the hood and put the right side in the passanger door(when i opened it I thought I was in a flood from my waste down was wet that side didnt had any damage "till then"). I bought the best car cover for a reason. MORONS. well needless to say if they can't put on a car cover right. I know they can't fix my TA right. now the left side of the drivers seat is discolored. I will treat the seats when I get them back.

When I got mine, at 11k miles there was a spot about the size of a quarter on the left side of the seat that was worn and white looking from the previous fat *** that owned the car getting in and out. Cost me $50 to have a guy touch it up, he basically painted/dyed it right there while I watched, took about 5 minutes from start to finish and I was off.....It was a little stiff and funky smelling at first but with it being my daily good weather driver (haha) it has gotten softer and you can never tell it was ever worn before.
saddle soap and linseed oil it's cheap it's been around for years and and i pulled my seats outta of a car thats been sitting in a junkyard with water no t tops blah blah blah and it made them look good again and a lil drying and some febreeze later i had brand new seats for 100 bucks lol

Easiest way to keep the seat looking great is to not let your butt slide down the side bolster. Plop your butt in the bottom first, then swing your legs in. I've seen cars with 20k miles with torn/messed up bolsters.
My leather looks pretty good for 110k.

I use Adam's leather conditioner (SPF 40!) once a month. In extremely good shape (except for abnormaly minor left bolster rash) for a DD 108k mile firebird stored outside 24/7. You'd guess they were out of a 40k mile Fbody at most.
