Go to car parts store and get a leather restore kit. It comes with cleaner and conditioner to soften leather.

Try a leather cleaner/ refinisher from the auto store

Our Volvo is 20 years old with over 200.000 miles on it. We too have the cracks on seats but I just consider them "stretch" marks! We live in Maine and our car is ungaraged and right with a dusting of snow on it.

Leather car seats need more care than household leather. Continued use, temp changes etc. Vacuuming, leather cleaner and conditioner. Auto parts stores sell cleaners, conditioners, and kits to bring the leather back. Other choices would be to have them reupholstered or car seat covers.

Get some armor all and polish them look for leather moisturizer

Car seat leather is exposed to variations in temperature, humidity, weather in general, so it needs more care then a household piece of leather furniture.

You could take it to get detailed and they would have everything there to do the job with commercial products, or you could do it yourself. Auto part stores would have leather cleaners/conditioners as well as Amazon.

Hey there,

To repair your leather seat you need the following:

• Warm water
• Mild dish soap
• Cleaning cloth
• Microfiber cloth
• Denatured alcohol
• Mild sandpaper
• Auto leather repair kit

Here are the instructions:

For car leather repair or leather patch kit. This type of kit is inexpensive. Make sure it includes a leather dye that matches the color of the leather car interior. Start by cleaning the seat with warm water that is mixed with mild dish soap. Rinse out the cleaning cloth as necessary. After rinsing the rag well, use it to rub denatured alcohol on the cracked areas. Wipe the areas dry with a microfiber cloth.

When the leather is dry, gently sand the cracked areas away with the sandpaper. Use the microfiber cloth to wipe the seats dry again. Next, open the auto leather repair kit. Read the instructions carefully to understand how to use the contents of the package. Open the liquid leather sealant product. Use it to smooth out the cracks according to the instructions. Apply the leather dye carefully to the affected areas until it matches the rest of the seat. Let the seats dry completely before using them again. Unless the vehicle is in a clean and closed garage, it is best to keep the windows rolled up while the seats are drying to avoid debris entering the car.

If your seat is not yet fixed you might want to consider checking https://parts.mopargenuineparts.com/ for the replacement of the leather seat.

I would not even try this. Pay to have it done, then maintain it. Leather needs conditioning, at least once a month.

Textile upholstery is the cheapest and most common method of upholstering the interior of cars. The seats, the bench, and sometimes the door faces are made of textile materials specially made for the automotive field. Very durable over time, they do not fade and are easy to clean. But in my car, it's leather, just like the armchairs in the house. I looked for how I could fix them, and I found how to fix the armchairs on https://toolsngoods.com/how-to-repair-leather-furniture/ , where it looks like, but it's much more complicated, and what I did was I went to a service that covers the seats in leather.

That's helpful to know

Leather furniture deteriorates sooo quickly, especially if you have pets. Even more so if that pet is a dog. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. My dog used to do all sorts of nasty things with my leather armchair, and at a certain point, I was fairly certain that it was damaged beyond any repair. Still, I was able to get it fixed thanks to the handy little guide I found on https://toolsngoods.com/how-to-repair-leather-furniture/. I mean, I can't say it's now in mint condition, but at least it doesn't look like crap, to begin with.
