Default Leather seat and wear

I am sure most suffer from this....On my GX470, I like most tend to slide in and out of the vehicle. After a short period, the leather begins to wear and show signs on minor cracking. What is the best product to clean and condition the leather to help stop this wear.....other than seat covers? thx.

To repair cracks, you need to look into a crack filler item for leather seats. I believe you need to send out a sample piece of the seating so that the color can be matched. Leatherique has a crack filler item in their inventory.

To prevent cracks, you must clean and condition your seats on a regular basis. I usually do mine once every 2 to 3 weeks. Best to do it on a warm sunny day so that your car can take the heat in, which helps "bake" and treat the seats better. Many good leather product brands out there, including Meguiar's, Lexus, Lexol, Leatherique, etc.

I have found ZAINO Z-10 to work very well and leaves a nice leather smell in the car..Makes the leather feel very soft also..

Those wipes should be fine for your leather seats. I saw one member at a meet this past weekend who has the exact same bottle of leather wipes in his GS, and couldn't believe how soft and clean his black leather seats were from the use of those wipes
