IMHO I would use the Megs "Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner Conditioner". I have found that the best way for me... is to apply product with your bare hands(so none of the product will be absorbed into the cloth) and leave it on there for 30 min. or so, so the leather can "drink in the conditioner". Also make sure you do this while the leather is cool. After the 30 min, buff it off with a clean towel. The smell is great to!

Yeah, use the liquid or gel cleaner/conditioner.

Sorry about this but I don't wanted to make another thread about this but do those cleaners make leathers look new again. for ex. this how my seats look

I tried to embed the photos, but the hosting site you used wouldn't allow it.

Either way, from what I saw, your leather appears to be in moderate condition.

The deeper cracks really can't be removed, but the best thing you can do is apply ample amounts of a Meguiar's leather conditioner of choice and give it time to soak.

Then wipe away any excess. The key is regular maintenance, as leather is a surface that if left too go too long without care can go beyond repair (without serious work, sanding, dying, etc).

You can find a stronger cleaner like APC, or the Meguiars 2-step Cleaner and Conditioner, if needed.

I always used a conditioning gel. There is a system out there for restoring. I do not recall the name but there are some pics I have seen that were out of sight.
