Leatherique makes good products for dealing with cracks in leather and also some of the best conditioners. It is quite labor intensive though.

Leatherique & Lexol cleaners and conditioners. For Chrome ploish...Simichrome. Wheel dressings...Poorboys. Zaino products are also nice. Meguiars is also getting better. Aero 303 is great for leather to protect from UV (dash).

Lexol. When the cracking gets bad enough to annoy you, get new seats on eBay - you'd be surprised what pops up there. The pricing compared to some of the dismantlers is wonderful at times.

Lexol and Zymol Treat are a good combo. I personally think Mothers Increidble Billet Aluminum polish is best on nice polished rims and I like Zymol Tyre on tires since it does not leave a silicone finish that splatters everywhere.
