If leather is to retain its beauty, it must be cared for, cleaned and conditioned. It's much easier to spend a little time protecting and conditioning your fine leather upholstery than spending the energy and money to salvage it. Once it's gone down that road, there may be no return! Have seen you leather that has been ignored and mistreated? What remains is dried, prematurely aged, and cracked leather. Fragile leather is the result of being bombarded with UV radiation, cooked in infrared heat, discolored with body oils, and finally rough-sanded by ground-in dirt,. Without proper care and conditioning, your leather will age rapidly, losing its luster and flexibility. This process is rapidly accelerated in warmer climates and in convertibles.
