Subject: Re: leather seat care


I must disagree with you there. The drivers seat in a car with leather gets quite abused from daily wear, especially on saabs, where they can achieve quite high mileage. Saabs leather is quite a bit stronger than some of its competitors though. I would suggest any type of hide food especially for the drivers seat as it gets the most wear and needs to maintain supple. Also, the leather in a car is prone to te extemes of heat and cold unlike a leather sofa. -- Toby Field (UK) '93 9000 CSE 2.3T Auto 150,000 Miles "Lineone" <lineonenopsamone.org> wrote in message news:KpqQ8.19728$AZ6.2700427nopsam6-win.server.ntlworld.com... > > What are the advantages? > > To be honest, not a lot! > Even unmaintained leather will outlast most of the rest of the vehicle.
