Leather Wrinkles/Creases

A friend (drives a Lexus, but still a friend) asked if I knew of a product that will remove or reduce the wrinkles and creases from leather seating surfaces. I told him that as far as I knew, leather naturally creases etc. and I was unaware of anything which could be applied to change this. Anyone heard of such a product?

Sorry, can't help you, but the good thing about our seat design is that the leather will not crease because it is taut. Lexus, and all the other Japanese cars love to sew the leather with loose folds which only makes it look worse in the long term...

Agree, although I notice some creasing of the horizontal surface of the drivers seat on my 320-just put it down to normal as that area gets the most repeated pressure.

bmw's (well, at least the 3 series) have the non-taut leather which i didn't like either. the leatherette is taut, however.
