Smile Black leather interior cleaning and restore

Hello! I need a bit of your experience, I have a GS 350 with black interior (First time with black interior, previously tan and grey) and it does have some "cracks" on the front seats with some white on the inside, nothing broken just cracks, like if the seat wasn't treated frequently and it got dry, and the center console some crocodile cracks on the front, like if the previous owner used perfume on hands and rubbed it often against that part.

I used to have an RX 330 with grey interior, and I treated the leather once a month with Meguiars Aloe Cleaner and Gold Class Leather Conditioner, and it worked great and smelled good, but never had a problem with this kind of marks and cracks.

I would like to know which product, according to you guys, is the best to repair this kind of damage, if its repairable of course, and which leather conditioner do you use on your black GS interior.

Thanks in advance for the great support as usual!

Go to Amazon and look up "TriNova"

They manufacture both a spray cleaner and squeeze bottle restorer. Best I have ever used and I once detailed cars to put myself through college.

I second leatherique that stuff works miracles. Plus if it can't be fixed with cleaning they have kits to repair and redye it to match perfectly

Leatherique is great stuff. I personally just use Lexol because I have it already and am waiting for it to run out. When that's done for, I'm going to be picking up Leatherique.
