Hey, once leather is gone it's gone; nothing's going to bring it back. That's true whether you have a Saab or Volvo or Lexus or whathaveyou. If the seats have been ignored and they're cracked then all you can hope for is to maintain what's still good. I've been using what alot of the horse people use on their tack which is Lexol Cleaner and Lexol Conditioner. It's sold at large auto supply chains but you can usually get a better deal at the tack shops and online horse stuff companies.
