Default Leather Seats

I have the interior warranty were if the leather starts to crack it can be replaced for free, but was wondering if there are alot of people out there with leather seats that have started to show signs of minor cracks. I have 3 small minor cracks that are kind of small but noticeable to a person like me. I was wondering what would be the best thing to use on them, because I have tried meguiars gold class all in one cleaner and it seems to not be working like I want it to. Thanks. (Pictures of seats would help)

Cleaners and conditioners will help keep the leather "moist" and keep it from drying out and cracking. It's not going to help those "stress" cracks that appear from wear and tear. Those usually appear out the door side edges where you butt hits the seat when getting in and out. Not much you can do about that, especially in a low car.

All leather seating will wrinkle over time, but that is different than cracks, we use Zaino Z-9 spray cleaner and Z-10 conditioner. It is best to use a separate two step cleaner and conditioner, the all in ones are not worth the time..

second that!! makes my leather smell like new again. Leather should be treated from the start. If you let it deteriorate, can't really do much unless you replace the seat. I have a '90 maxima that was all leather. My dad gave it to me when I was in high school and it was sun dried cracks all over. I couldn't restore the leather no matter what I tried. Its the price we pay for having luxury. Gotta maintaine it constantly
