I am noticing several spots on my seats that are "fading" or developing white spots. Anyone else seeing this? I have only 2100 miles on the car and most of this is happening in the back seat where no one has ever been...

Ive noticed similar wear spots on mine too. Especially on the side bolsters.

No issues to report here on black nappa leather.

Is yours nappa leather?

Have you tried wiping that area with a damp towel?

Yes, it's the red Napa...
I have tried wiping it with both a sample cloth and a "leather wipe". The spots will not go away.

Hey guys I have a black nappa leather 2.0 and the back seat has what looks like to be the same grease like looking areas in the back seat when the light hits it. It looks like oil or some kind of something was rubbed on the back seat that is either wax or something. Either grease from the factory rubbed off onto the back seat when put in or our local dealers used something on our seats that they shouldn't have. I have the flu right now of course with my luck so I'll get on this soon. One battle at a time.
