Hi All,

Having stored the SLK in the garage since last October, I was horrified to find that both seats now have multiple ripples in the upper portion of the back rests. Is this a normal occurrence if the car is left in a garage over winter, I swear that these ripples were not present last October?
The next question is; can they be removed permanently and what do I have to do to prevent them returning.

I look forward to your comments.


Regards Tedfred

Hi Lost Kiwi,

Will a hair dryer remove them permanently? If the heat of a hair dryer will remove them then is it safe to assume it has the cold in the garage that caused them to form?

Thanks again for your response.

Regards Tedfred

Yes permanent (well as permanent as you can get with leather).

Thanks Lostkiwi ,,,Good tip for the wrinkles might try that myself , also for grey cracks in black leather the squeegee black polish rubbed in allowed to dry and buffed up does a good job and no it wont mark your clothes, as long as you buff it up .
