Conditioning for dry, hard, Saddle colored leather?
I just purchased a 2003 SC430 with the saddle color interior, the condition of the leather is very bad. It's very shiny, it's VERY hard, and it's showing creases, but hasn't cracked or ripped thru yet! The driver's side is flaking a bit too. The previous owner did not take care of the leather at all obviously. I want to condition it, but I'm afraid that it's too far gone to condition, that it would just make it worse. Do you guys have any recommendations for what brand of conditioner to use for the saddle leather?

If the seats are salvageable, I would recommend the Leatherique 2 step system.

Some important notes from the article....
"The Rejuvenator Oil works with time and heat. The best way to allow the product to work is to roll up the windows, and let the car sit outside in the sunshine for the day to create a steam room effect. During this time it conditions the surface and brings all of the dirt, grime, salt, and other toxins to the top leaving a sticky or tacky finish before it’s removed. I prefer to let it sit for about a 24 hour period. If it’s cooler outside, you’ll need to leave it on longer."
