i'm starting to get a couple of cracks in my leather seats. are there any products out there to tape them up or prevent the cracks from getting bigger?

You need a leather cleaner and conditioner. I never used it so I can't name a product for you to try.

but what about the cracks that are already there... i think even if the leather is conditioned, just sitting on it is going to start to tear the cracks open...

conditioner will soften the leather and slow the cracking process (on the existing cracks) and prevent new cracks

lexol.

is the leather actually split, or does it just look like cracks on the surface? as long as the leather is still soft and flexible, it should still be good. apparent cracks may just be the dye being rubbed off along creases in the leather, and you can still save the leather by conditioning it regularly. these areas can be re-dyed, if you want to spend the money..

i have to get a better leather reconditioner, but then you move even more in your seat for a while. i hope to re-dye deez bitches later down the line too.
