Car Wash + Vaccuum = Ruined Seat
I was on my way home the other day when a bird decided to drop the worlds largest poo onto my hood and windshield. It was blazing hot and I was feeling lazy so I headed to my local car wash.
20 minutes later and i'm zooming down the road. When I get home and get out I catch something on the seat out of the corner of my eye....

Sorry for the pic, it's a camera phone.
Only one of the scratches can be seen here, the rest are in the shadows.
There's a total of 7-8 scratches of varying depths all over the driver seat... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I head back to the carwash and they're very nice about it. They see the car is babied and don't even question that it was their fault.
Now I have an appt to see their leather shop and see what they can do.
Should I hold out for a whole new front seat? Should I let them try to recover it (if they even offer that), or should I see about maybe having them two tone the front seats?

bummer they messed up your seat. Don't go overboard with wanting 2-tone seats. If their 'leather guy' can redo the seat, thenI'd say that's a victory.

Just got back from the repair place, Bascom Trim and Upholstery.
Seems like a very clean place, and the work that I saw makes me feel like I'm in good hands.
I took your advice and decided not to push my luck and get bossy. Repair back to original will be fine by me.
