Default Jacked up my leather :(

Hey guys, I was bringing flowers home from work yesterday and then stems were sitting on my seats and they dented my leather and now it looks really bad. There is no real damage to it, just that it doesn't sit right. Do any of you have any remedies for something like this to try and smooth it out?

Thanks for any help.

It's been about a day now. I'm hoping it goes back. It just REALLY bugs me when I can see it in the corner of my eye.

Try cleaning/conditioning the leather....
They'll go away over time- or have some fat person sit in the seat

Easy fix, get a good conditioner like Lexol, spray and alow to seep for like 10 min...then get a blow dryer and with heat heat up the part that is marked. It will come right out.
