That is insanely impressive!!! How do you keep the leather from getting any wear wrinkles/ creases?? Are / were your seats leather or MB Tek? Either way looks great!

My guess is that some of it comes from not using the seat very much. (South Africa is Right Hand Drive)

I think he wears specially treated pants that have leather conditioner impregnated into the fabric. That way, whenever he's sitting in the car, he's also treating the leather.

The drivers seat looks exactly the same. South African leather is not inclined to develop creases for whatever reason. I also think that regular feeding of the leather helps. Alpacca Grey is a difficult colour to keep clean. The car was around the other day & I noticed the steering wheel was developing a slight grubby shine. We cleaned it all up as good as new. Nice matt grey leather again.

Only farmers & taxis buy cars with MBTex in SA.
