Cracks in leather seats

hello,
The person who i bought the G was a property dealer, most the times it was only him who sat in the car. The driver seat has soo many cracks while rest of lether seats look brand new! I mean you could take em out and sell em as brand new. So what my question is, what could i use to make the driver seats from stop cracking, and is there a way to restore the seat? the leather colour is beige. I want the driver seat to look new like the rest of the seats. Should i be asking, "Can this be even done"

Thanks,
Manbir

Well I'd have to see it to tell if the cracks can be repaired, but if you want to try to re-condition it as best you can without a pro grab some Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil. I'd grab some of their "Pristine Clean" for future use, too. Just type that into google and you'll find places to buy it - there is also a member on these forums (Punchit) who re-sells their products on his site (just search for his member name). Here is a thread that shows what it can do:

Of course you can only do so much without having a pro repair the leather.

Picus i think i'm goign to try and use that first and if z8 or z10 doesnt work, i'm going to have it looked by a pro. I'll take pictures and post them up in the comming week.

www.leatherique.com definately. Otherwise, get a quote to have it reupholstered. It's worth the money in my opinion. Good luck

that before and after pic is definitely misleading, any fuken idiot can tell its two different sides of the seat, if even the same seat

Is the car still under warranty?
I work for and Acura dealership and have replaced seat leather before because it was wrinkled for people before. Whatever it takes to get a good Survey you know!
Could not hurt to ask.
