Hi all.. as posted before we know there is an issue of wear on the bolsters of the 18 way seats, iv only cover 300 miles and am seeing small signs of wear on the bottom part... see photo, it’s more of a friction mark ( shadow in photo) I spoke with the opc and they informed me that it can be repaired when it gets to point of it being an eyesore, apparently for around Β£150. Reading up on leather creams etc, Gtechnic reckons that no cream will soak into the leather as it’s got a protective coating on it ... so they advise a friction spray, they sell for around Β£20... has anyone used it? Also can you use a scotch guard spray on the Alcantara parts? Would be interesting to hear what people have tried.

I have 18-ways with the very light Pebble Grey leather, and find that the outside bolster of the seat gets blue stains from my jeans. I use Dr Leather's "Leather Cleaning Wipes" and the stain just wipes off.

I’m more worried about preventing the wear , although I have had cream seats in the past.. and can relate to ( Blue Jean syndrome!)...
