Leather softener

[Swear57]

What’s the best leather cleaner & softener. The seats & top on my 18 Cadillac are so brittle every time you get in, it’s like sitting on glass & it cracks more. The top hasn’t been down since 1970 & it would just shatter. I have been using leather soap & conditioner for saddles. Both top & seats are original. Thanks Jim S

I use Lexol leather conditioner.

Lexol has been old reliable for years........ used by people with horses for their leather equipment. 

Depending on where you live,  something made for baseball gloves would also help.

So what could I use on running boards to keep them from cracking?

100% Natural Neatsfoot Oil, not the blended stuff with words like “Prime” or “Compound”.

I saw an article somewhere suggesting to use vaseline, clear petroleum jelly, it makes sense as it works on dry, chapped skin, but has anyone tried it on leather seats??

Another vote for Lexol.

My dad did this interior in 1961.   He has been putting Lexol on it for over 60 years.
