200 My 1 Accord EX leather seat problem

Discussion in 'Accord' started by Enrique Gonzales, May 29, 2005.

  1. We purchased a 2001 Accord EX coupe in Dec 2004. The leather on the
    front seats is "mottled." There are light spots with the majority of
    the leather slightly darker. Upon examination, it appears there is a
    "coating" on the leather that is coming off. I have actually been
    able to work at one of the spots and pull of some of the darker
    coating. The funny thing is the leather underneath more closely
    matches the interior of the car.

    What would have been the purpose of the coating? The best guesses so
    far is some kind of fire retardent, or some kind of protectant for the
    leather.

    Has anyone ever seen this? I am resigned to using a solvent, probably
    acetone, to remove the remainder of the "coating" to improve the
    appearance of the seats. What should I do to protect the leather
    after this layer is removed?

    Suggestions/comments are appreciated.

    Sounds like some of the dye is coming out... have no idea why. You
    didn't spill anything on it? Is this a localized problem?
