Contour seats wear

Here's the nappa leather bolster on my E350 coupe. I was wondering if there is anything that would help with the fine creases/cracks that appear to be forming over the bolster.

I've heard good things about Leatherique rejuvenator oil and pristine clean...would people recommend trying that or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Do you use the bolster pumps to alter the various sections of the seat? Leather being a natural fabric will always begin to show signs of stretch, to stop the cracking and the leather drying you need to use leather conditioners. Leather seats will never remain the same as the day you first bought your car.... fact of life!!!

TBH I don't use the bladders to control the bolsters. I've been reading conflicting things about leather conditioners as some people say that it is not actually needed for leather used in modern cars as they have a polymer coat and that the conditioner can in fact destabilise this? Apparently a regular leather cleaner is all that is needed?

I'm in the same boat as you Vazza. My drivers seat looks the same as yours.
I've been using Mothers VLR for approx 1 year.

It doesn't visibly re-seal the cracks, but I have happy with the results so far.
