Leather Care/Restoration
Anyone used any product to treat the cracks in the leather seats on the TL? I'm looking at a used TL with 56k and the drivers side seat looks a little rough. Can anyone recommend a decent product to reduce the cracks on the seats? Should the dealer take care of something like this?

seat covers are not long term warranty item
Just get some leather care product at the auto parts store, or a bike shop, or a horse saddle shop, all will have the right product that doesnt leave the seat slippery

exceldetail,
have you had any experience, or heard others personal experience with 'RaceGlaze' products? I know the guy that did that absolutely incredible detail job on the Lambo Gallardo in Scotland used several of their products. (here's the url if you've never seen it; LOTS of pictures, but well worth the look/read http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=79859).

Filling the cracks and creases with an oil or cream-based product will not effect a cure
Repair scratched, cracked or creased leather
Split leather (by-cut) is subject to stretching and therefore shows creasing more readily, by using this kit from Leather Magic; wipe the leather down with the solution, using the 220 grit paper, this will remove most of the minor creases. Apply 3-4 thin coats of dye (allow to dry between coats) you have the option to spray the final coat with a sprayer (all included in kit) – Leather Magic Repair- http://www.leathermagic.com/
