Have you looked at fabric protection?

I used to work in a furniture sale's shop and if you plan to keep the vehicle for some time and don't want the leather to crack you need to keep it clean and subtle, there are pack's you can buy, which put's the nutrient's back into the leather, but once it crack's it's gone, just clean it once a week with luke warm water, and vaccum the suede.

If you wan't it to last than yes you need to look after the leather, I got sick and tired off having to explain to people why their $6000 leather lounge was cracking and nothing could be done with it because of the simple fact that they never looked after it.

I am not entirely sure but I think ours took about 8 weeks. Ours was the first in our area to be ordered with the 'luxury' pack but well worth the wait.

Buy a good leather conditioner for the interior. They can even be picked up from department stores. Make sure you put the stuff onto a cloth NOT directly onto your leather, and you can use the brush of your vacuum to gently clean the suede.

Happy motoring
