Cracking leather seats?
Hey all the w124's are gettign old, and so are the once supply soft leather seats. I was reading online about a cure and decided to try it, the answer watered down hand lotion. Soposadly, it works the same as the property of moistuizing the skin as the skin of a cow in your car. I tried it, I saw the best results on my aging steering wheel, but tried it on the seats them selves, and they turned out not brand new soft but much better than before.

Avoid products that have an alcohol base.

Also, avoid products containing mineral oil- it will not absorb. Arbonne products would probably be best. My wife sells the products and they are some of the best you can buy for human skin. Maybe they are good for livestock, too.
