I purchased the truck used, 12k miles. I would like to keep the leather looking great, any suggestions?

I imagine the last owner didnt clean the seats with a good leather cleaner. I use meguiars luxury leather cleaner. My seats, at 76k miles are still looking good. Leather cleaner softens the leather and should help them flatten back out. That and try some conditioner as well

Another thing, I use a steam machine on leather headrests I embroider. It heats the leather up and helps it stretch and flatten out better. I'm not sure if it would work on the seat or not. Hope this helps!

Nothing looks wrong with the creases. It has creases in the seats straight from the factory. I just learned to live with it and now it doesn't bother me.

Looks like leather to me. Every leather seat I've had looks like that. Might need some conditioner to keep it soft.

Want very smooth, have them done in vinyl.

I will try the pinnacle products to see what results are to be had.
If I don't have a steam cleaner, what else can I use?

I use the Chemical guys PH balanced leather care and after those appeared on mine I put on liberal amounts and away they went...

That stuff is really good. I found it to really soften the leather more than any other product I ever used. Started using it on my vette and the seats looked new after six years.

Most leather in cars if very heavily processed. It's kind of hard to call it leather. Most of it is heavily coated. My wife drove GMC Yukon Denali XLs for years and their leather was basically vinyl it was so heavily coated. The upside of that heavy coating is easy cleaning and it doesn't get creases. The downside is that it's just as hot as vinyl and it cracks and the top coat will eventually peel and flake off.

The Raptor has pretty leather on the top of the seat (seating surfaces). It's an aniline dye with a pretty light coating. Its much softer and more luxurious but it will crease.

Having owned 6 Denali XLs with crap "leather" I'll take the creases every time.
