Smile Leather Cleaners that make me Smile

So the other day, I was shopping for a leather wipe and noticed this:







Makes me smile that our interior's on the label. However why no ecru?

Remember that you don't need a 'conditioner' intended for dyed leather. Like most modern automotive leather interiors, our leather is basically painted. As long as the coating is intact, anything you wipe on is just going to get wiped back off. A cleaner that doesn't attack the coating is all that is needed.

Mostly I want to prevent the "cracking" that is seen in older SCs -- suggestions?

I just bought some the other day and hadn't noticed that. Great find.

I am looking at a re-dying, though. There seems to be no saving the cracked leather in my 03. Thinking of switching the interior to charcoal (currently ecru).
