Alright guys... Not sure I deserve to own this car... I've done something completely retarded, and am now seeking your advice for a possibly solution.
I usually leave my windows cracked when I don't think it's going to rain... to try to keep the car cool and not let too much heat build up inside. Well...low and behold, I leave them cracked overnight and wake up to it raining outside... (HOLY CRAP!) .... so, i get out there and quickly wiped the rain off the seat, but only god knows how long it had been raining that night. There appears to be a discoloration on part of the passenger seats (the part that grips ur right left) and the leather is a teeeeny bit loose on both the passenger and drivers side where the window side of the seat touches your window side leg.
Is there anything I can do to possibly heal the discoloration, or maybe even get the leather to be ... "tighter" again?![Frown](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

It's black leather...and the discoloration really isn't that bad...but to me it's still noticable (as many people on these forums are...i'm a bit of a perfectionist.) As you said gunser, i'll just have to wait, and hopefully things will dry out a bit. It doesn't seem wet, but obviously I'd just prefer the leather to be back to being completely tight again.
Davidv: Thanks for the recommendation on the leather cleaner...i've got some Zaino stuff that I might give a try... the stuff was just kinda cooky last time though... I'll look into a lil saddle soap =P

I'm not sure saddle soap is appropriate for the type of dye and processing of your leather seat. Check autopia.org for appropriate treating of water spots on leather seats.

+1 on letting it air dry. Lessoned learned though. Always roll your windows up.
