leather seats, starting to have white lines

i have black leather seats in my coupe... however im starting to see these white lines, seems like its cracking or fading due to stretching or some sort...

what can i do to fix the problem, i doubt i can do anything now since its kinda too late. But for future reference what can i do to prevent any more of these from showing up on my seats?

I was planning on buying seat covers to go over my front seats, but was wondering if they sell anything that will not be too distracting?

Also i heard most ppl use lexol leather conditioner? If so, are there any local stores that carry it? I would like to be able to pick it up locally like maybe at autozone, pepboys, walmart if possiible.

You might want to try buying a good quality black shoe polish and rubbing a little into the cracks.
I've done this on many different types of leather before and it works well.
You could even do the whole seat.
Rub it in and buff it out. I use a lambs wool mitt attachment on my drill to buff the seats, works well for me.

After you buff it out, it's no problem, you just do it well.
I've done leather seats in other cars that I've owned with
no problem. The lambs wool mitt attached to my drill
makes it very easy gets all excess off.
