Default Accord Leather

My 99 ex v6 has tan leather. When i bought the car the leather was absolutely PERFECT. About a month after purchasing the car, i noticed a small crack in the leather so i went out and bought Lexol Leather cleaner and conditioner and i use it once a week when i wash my car. Since that day, about 7 months ago, the amount of cracks in the leather has been increasing. How was the leather so nice for 56k miles and become so cracky after 5k more miles. (I use a sunshade and have 20% tints around) im just curious if anyone else has had this problem

BTW i live in California

Leather does that when it ages. It's called character and is what gives leather it's beauty. I don't have leather in my car but I do have a couple of leather couches in my home that I bought 5 years ago and they were flawless at first but overtime they just develop their 'character'. Just keep doing what you're doing with the cleaner and conditioner and it will look good even when the rest of your car sits in the scrapyard someday.
