Tips on how to correct and avoid scuffing/scratching the ultra soft leather on competition seats? I cleaned/conditioned them a month ago with Leather Honey but am still getting these scuffs on the base of the seat.

I'm always careful to take everything out of my rear pockets before sitting down. I also rarely wear jeans so I don't know why these scuffs are forming?

Wow, that is something. I was getting premature wear on my bolsters, which doesn't appear to be your problem? My solution was to program seat setting #2 to take the seat back several inches prior to exiting the car. This has prevented new wear on my bolsters.

Then it's from your fat butt lol. Probably a pair of pants have something that rubs there. Good luck figuring it out. I hate scratched leather too.

Is it possibly something that's always there, and it just sort of changes to be more visible or less visible depending on what work you've done on it or if the conditioner has dried up?

I guess I'm saying you might not still be making them? Or are you certain that you are? If you do think they are new then you're really the only one that can say what you have that is scratchy like that.
