Re: Driver's Seat

I agree with Marc.. even further, a local upholstery shop that
specializes in leather installations tells me that you should not apply
anything to your car's leather. I was told I only need to use a sunshade
and some window tinting to prevent the sun from damaging the seats and
that if I really wanted to put something to protect them, use Eagle One
Leather Treatment or something made specifically for leather.. by all
means, NOT Armor All.
