I have been using Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Is the aerospace product a better choice for protection and fade?

Hmm, I don't think I would click that link.

I'm not sure why, but my black 08 leather is cracking a lot easier than the stone leather in my mother in-law's 09. She doesn't put anything on the leather either.

Cracking – keeping leather clean is the key to finished leathers durability, it is the combination of dirt and abrasion that causes the finish to crack and deteriorate over time. It is the pigment/finish coating that cracks and not the leather itself so keeping the leather clean will help prevent dirt from causing a problem
