If you haven't tried the bleach yet to rid the mildew I would give it a shot. wet down the seams first with plain water and try to keep the bleach off of them. It can weaken and degrade certain threads.
If you do end up replacing the seats and plan to keep it for awhile, check out the Nautolex...
Use it sparingly. The more you use the more residue you're going to have to buff away. A trick that guys who work with polishing aluminum use is flour. Plain baking flour. After polishing when you have a ton of black residue left just sprinkle it on and rub it in. Then wipe it off. It gets rid...
Well It's been awhile since I've given an update.

If you don't want to worry about the plastic trim for awhile you could use Carpro Dlux or Wolf's nano trim coat. I used the wolf's coating on recommendation from another member on all the plastic on my Grand Cherokee. Looks good and is holding up well so far. Going on a month.

Huge difference after just the wash. Car looks really good. It's a shame he doesn't have you do bi-weekly maintenance washes on it. It would make a world of difference.
Awesome post. Tons of information to get pointed in the right direction. I've been holding back from getting a nice dslr because I didn't think it was worth buying one to just use as a point and shoot camera. I'm definitely going to start looking into how to use one to take advantage of what it...
They make a few products specific to exotic leathers.
