Terribly. I had a 16 year old Prelude with much more durable leather that never peeled or cracked. 9 years 50k miles

You must be under a lot of pressure driving.

My 18s are doing well @5 years and 63k miles. I do have covered parking though. I think if they were in the sun all day in Florida they would be taking a beating. If I had to park in the sun id probably get windshield tint along with the side tint to reduce the sun damage/heat.

My 2018's Ceramic Leather is in the same condition as yours; only have 39k on mine...

I use Griots 3-in-1 Leather Cleaner/Conditioner with a microfiber... never an issue and I see absolutely no wear or problems.

The seats in Post # 2 above... wow.... I mean, are you wearing sandpaper impregnated clothes? LOL!!! I've yet to see S550 leather like that...until now.

2016 with 70K miles and my red leather still looks and feels like new. I also regularly clean and use leather conditioner.

@Tang , I'm shocked at your seats. Have you ever used any conditioner or anything? My 250K mile '98 Tahoe doesn't look like that....

I don't know what the F you're doing but damn!

My '18 is at 101k and was a DD from June of '19 until February of this year. Still in excellent condition.

I found the leather in my 2018 GT was holding up fine, but the foam rubber was not. I'm heavy (230) which may have had something to do with it.

I uhhhhh... I didn't think I was heavy, but... geez, 230 is heavy now?

My 2018 is holding up great; looks as good as it did the day I bought it, including that little circle there... wtf is that, anyway? I never see that on anyone else's seats.

Some kind of one-off defect.

I’m 6’2 245 and considered obese from what my doctor said
Must be the Florida’s hot sun beating down on the interior.

At our location and altitude, we encounter high amounts of UV rays. Anything to help block these rays is a big plus, for the driver, passenger/s and the interior. Being garaged or under cover (if at all possible) and the use of tint are great helps towards interior material protection.

After studying options and opinions, I recently started using Wolfgang's Leather Conditioner.

First application was last month. I put on several lite coats, modest amounts, giving the leather time to take it in. That first pass, it was like the leather was a conditioner magnet; it couldn't take it in fast enough. "Uh, more please." A few additional passes and the leather was left in a state like you'd conditioned the skin on your hands: smooth but not greasy, with a soft finish.

This specific Wolfgang combo is currently out-of-stock at Autogeek, but they have other amounts or kits.

For the plastic and vinyl, CarPro Perl. Applied in the same fashion, using very lite coats and stopping when I was satisfied with the appearance. Another great product. Nothing greasy or sticky. A nice overall look and feel.

Mine looked fine in the 2015 when I traded it in with 156,567 miles November of 2022.
