You can buy stuff that cleans and feeds it, like Liquid Leather.

I think you can get it repaired by the same people who do stone chips and shit?

when i worked for saab we had an old boy who would treat the leather and the cracks did go fook knows what he used though

Depends on your definition of 'crack'. If it's anything like these examples http://www.liquidleather.com/liquidl.htm then you can.

Do you really think i'm that good to be Glasseye.

i have not got the ability to do what you do Phil, to hide yourself on computers and become different people.

I have no need to be anyone else and i don't see why you have the need to.

Think its all attention seeking myself and its getting rather boring now Phil.

I do these type of repairs regularly for a few main dealers, Range Rovers are the worst for it... a combination of the height of the seat off the ground and 5Hit leather IMO, I repair cracked and worn seats on cars which have done less than 10k!!!

BUT..... What I do is a cosmetic repair Perfect for dealers or areas of the interior which arent going to be taking day to day wear and tear IMO, so NOT side bolsters....

What you need is re connollising, AFAIK it can be done when the seat is in the car, scour yellow pages etc for somene HTH

By filling the cracks lightly, then recolouring

Cost depends on area, colour, damage and ease of repair, say anything from £80 upwards (Driver seat bolster), but I wont go to wales LOL
