    You do not want to keep your leather shiny. I hate shiny leather. That just means all the oils from your hand and/or cleaners are staying in the leather.

    I use a Zymol leather conditioner. Also, every once in a while, I take a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to the leather to take out all the oils and keep it from getting shiny.

    that's true~probably not too much on the seats.
    I just wanna find a way to keep them from cracking down the road.

    How about the "fake leather" that wrapped around our dashboard, center console, and doors all around? you guys put anything on those to keep them healthy from the sun and heat(in the summer time)?

    The worst thing to use is Armorall. That stuff will make your leather crack even faster.

    As long as you take care of the leather with a good conditioner and you don't abuse the seats or panels, you shouldn't have to worry about the leather cracking for a long time.

    Leather Pledge from 1z. Works like a charm and smells good too.

    Lexol Cleaner and Lexol Conditioner. I clean with one cotton cloth and spread the conditioner all over the seats with a damp sponge. After ~5 minutes, I clean off the excess conditioner with another clean, dry cotton cloth.
