I should have said the car has been garaged it's whole life, and has
68K miles. Usually only has a driver and no passengers. The back seat
is like brand new and the fronts are real nice. I don't think that
there has been anything done to the seats except the original owner had
"perma-plate leatherguard" and "vinyl protectant" applied at the
stealership that had a 5 year warranty.

I think the wear and tear has a lot to do with the owner of the vehicle.

I have not, and do not plan on using any chemicals on the seats whatsoever.
