Hello all, the following raised line getting worse on our BMW passenger seat, anyone have any ideas? Is it fixable?

I think that's a natural characteristic from the particular cow.

You could attempt treating the leather with a decent leather food but car seats are often sprayed with a sealant to help with wear/longevity. That sealant can prevent the leather food from achieving anything.

Gliptone is a full-tilt leather treatment,

or there's a more subtle one called Renapur,

Thank you, already have Renapur as we use that on leather sofas with good effect and will give that a try.

Been using Gtechiq L1 Leather Guard for the past 3 years of ownership to try and preserve the colour!

If you zoom in it looks like a wear line where something is creasing/rubbing against the leather at that point, the perforations are distorted along the length of it, not sure any topical treatment will solve that issue.
