Please correct me if Iām wrong but arenāt the side bolsters made of pleather, not leather. I thought only the actual seating surfaces are leather. Also isnāt automotive leather coated and sealed? So conditioners really do not penetrate the material.Agree with others: I feel that something rubbed or scraped that area. Seat belt, force when entering and exiting, clothes belt, rivets in jeans, animal scratch, technicians tool, something in pocket, etc.
I've been using Wolfgang's Leather Conditioner for a few seasons now. Works just like a skin conditioner. I apply several light coats, working each one in. Leaves the material with a nice finish. Not greasy or heavy. I apply it as often as I think I need it. Used on all leather surfaces. I cannot speak as to if it will hide or lessen the appearance of the damage seen.

Yes, I think you're right. I re-read the description of the OP's signature and the photos. They are not Recaros. If that is the case, yes, while the center material is leather, the bolsters are not (full seat attached, as an example).
How hard is it to wring out a mink to get the oil? Don't they bite?
I am glad the Emberglo interior comes in ActiveX for the convertibles, that said from looking through hundreds of S550 convertible listings, I'm impressed how well Ford's leather / pleather holds up. OP's seat cover is damaged and possibly defective, that's not how it wears normally.
After three months of ownership, I'm VERY disappointed in @Ford Motor Company 's poor choice of 'leather'. On another social media platform, the complaints are quite frequent. I wear khaki's and jeans daily for work, gym shots on the weekends (nothing at all that is abrasive) - there is no way the "wear and tear" should be this abysmal on the driver's seat. I can't fathom how bad this will be in three years. Anyone else having this issue?

I was told by dealer that the only part of the seats that are actually leather are the perforated center sections front seats only. The scuffing then is on the vinyl so treat accordingly. If the color is worn through or permanently damaged it will need to be colored again.After three months of ownership, I'm VERY disappointed in @Ford Motor Company 's poor choice of 'leather'.

This is the outcome I'm hoping for. Will hopefully know more later this week.

I am not happy with the scratches and wear patterns. They are not terrible, but shouldn't look like this after just 2 months. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow and will bring it upAfter three months of ownership, I'm VERY disappointed in @Ford Motor Company 's poor choice of 'leather'.

Post up how your experience at the dealer went. I'm going in on Saturday to talk to them about it. I'm really not happy - I'm three months in and the seat looks terrible!I am not happy with the scratches and wear patterns. They are not terrible, but shouldn't look like this after just 2 months.

Mine are black, but I agree - starting to wear at only a couple of months is not good. I can't imagine how it will look in a year. I'm just hoping it's a bad batch or something and the dealer replaces it...
