Why leather cracks
High cabin temperatures and sunlight dry out leather and fade color, which leads to cracking.
Care routine
Clean and condition regularly:
- Vacuum seams to remove grit
- Clean with a leather-safe cleaner
- Condition to keep the material supple
- Use a windshield sunshade
When to call a pro
If seats are heavily soiled or stained, a professional interior detail cleans deeply and conditions properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I condition leather?
