treating and conditioning leather ?

Hey,

What are the best products to use when treating my leather interior and protecting it from cracking ?
I've used Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner and Conditioner.
I would like to try other products out there that give the leather more moisture to keep it from drying and cracking.

Thanks in advance

I use the same stuff on my leathers aswell. I find that it does a pretty good job, but it does dries out over time .

Some guys say to use vasoline.. which is fine if your seats are real leather. But ours are 'leatherette' which are probably made of plastics.. therefore, petroleum jelly is not a good idea.

I was told to go to a farmer's co-op and get the stuff they use for saddles and whatnot. Makes sense to me!

NOTHING with silicone it in!!

or if you have bought furniture at Leons, they have this leather care kit - the kit is $100 by itself. That's what I used for a little while before I sold the leathers.
