You would be surprised what the Gliptone kit can do, I used the cleaner and colourwash followed by the hide food. The colourwash just colours in the dark cracks without giving a painted look, my magnolia seats came up really well after a bit of work, might still be worth a try.

Neatsfoot compound and saddlesoap - from your local Agricultural store.

You'd be amazed how well leather recovers (even the cracks) with some TLC

Just a quick cheaper alternative to try before you buy all the fancy gubbins.

I used soap flakes (mild and non perfumed from all good supermarkets) and a soft bristle brush. As clean as a whistle after 5 minutes scrubbing. Wonderful.

I did use hide food after though.
