Simply buy a couple of chamois leathers and stick them under the seat! Better than air fresherers any day. Or treat yourself to a new leather / suade jacket for the winter!

I use a product called Zymol and swear by it. I got a 2000 and still smells like new. Start with the Zymol leather cleaner and then use the Zymol leather conditioner. It also has a slight oil base so it shines up the seats and hides any wrinkles very well. Good luck!
I ask that because I had a '95 with a tan leather interior (that was destroyed in Hurricane Fran) and replaced it with a '95 with a gray interior. While I was the second owner of the gray one, it just never had that baseball glove smell. I noticed the difference in the new ones. Must be the dye???

I'll find a way to fake it. The "Leather in a bottle" seems to be getting good :beer reviews.
I got a black interior and still smells like a baseball glove. I'm tellin you, get the Zymol man!
