Leather seats...
 
Coffee stain on the seat from my mom... dont ask... been there for a looong time. any way of getting it off? also, the seats are pretty cracked.... any word on repairing them?

Try saddle soap, then treat the leather with some kind of conditioner. You won't get rid of the cracks, but if you keep the leather soft, they won't get worse.

That will get the coffee stain out though?

Don't know about coffee stains. But that's the only cleaner I'd use on leather car seats.

In fact,saddle soap is a very poor cleaner. It must first dissolve its own oils, limiting its capacity to dissolve dirt and oils in the leather. Saddle soap is also inherently alkaline but alkalinity is damaging to leather. Another problem arises during application. Most saddle soaps instruct the user to work the lather into the leather. Since loosened dirt is suspended in the lather, it is pushed back into the leather's pores.

Saddle soaps have long been replaced in tanneries by modern emulsions which penetrate, soften and condition with greater ease and stability. the popular myth of saddle soap as a cleaner however persists as modern folklore.
