http://www.wallbike.com/saddlecolors.html that it "can also happen if too much wax-based product is saturated into the saddle" but a few lines below it says to give "a new saddle be given a heavy coat of Proofide" what do i do? i don't want to ruin this saddle
It's just the nature of leather. As it wears it will "Distress" What can you do to slow it down? Make sure you wear shorts that are as smooth as possible so it doesn't pull on the top layer of the leather.
