Hello:

Attached are photos of my Tesla seat which I have damaged with wet "after tennis" sweaty cloths. The leather has lost coloration (turned reddish) in a couple places, is wrinkled in others and is separating in one area.
What should I do?

>>> The leather has lost coloration (turned reddish) in a couple places

The color coating (Adhesor-73 > Micro-54 > MicroTop-54 (matte or satin) is rubbed off and will need color matching refinishing. You may take a look at this Kit-Ap7.cl . . .

>>> (turned reddish)

Most likely this leather is Vegetable-Tanned ( just like most of Ford King Ranch leather interior, and is more pH sensitive then the typical bluish-grey chrome-tanned leather.


>>> is wrinkled in others

Wrinkled is leather structure shrinkage when fatliquor (fat and oil diminished from the original 14%) and will need to top up with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system to relax and supper up again when dry.


>>> and is separating in one area.

This is tearing at the weak points, the stitching tear, it is recommended to relax and supper up to strength prior to repairs with Bond-3D
