Smile BEST LEATHER CLEANER!?!

I am looking to clean up my leather seats in my C63. I have light tan interior. What are some good products you recommend that I could get? Also, the side of the seats have some wear like you can see small cracks and what not, how would I go about fixing that up?
Thanks in advance!

Two of the best I've tried that leave a perfectly cleaned and matte surface (in preparation for a protection layer), and can also be used on synthetic leather surfaces:

Obsesssed Leather Cleaner:
https://www.autoobsessed.com/product...r-cleaner-16oz

And Gtechniq I2 Tri-Clean in a 1:10 dilution for maintenance cleaning:

I used to use leatherique in the past, but these newer products surpass it for cleaning abilities, finish, and ease of use. Most modern leather surfaces also don't respond to "feeding" with an oil as they are manufactured with synthetic fat liquors.

I've used Gliptone and Meguiars leather products and have been satisfied with both.
