Leather Cracking?

Hey guys, I was cleaning my interior today and was spraying down the seats and stuff with mguire's detailer. Then I noticed that on the driver's seat, there were cracks and lines all over the side with the seat belt. My car has 19,2xx miles on it with willow interior... Isn't kinda early for this kind of wear/tear?

The more you ride, slide, and leave it in the sun the fast cracks will start to form. A few minor cracks are to be expected, if you keep them cleaned and conditioned you should be ok.
My blk '04 interior still looked flawless when I traded it in a couple months ago.

Do you mean wrinkle or crack where you can see the under lying material.Leather is going to eventually wrinkle ,it is inevitable.Also depends on how much you weigh also .The leather will stretch then go back into place until it wrinkles .I have some wrinkles no big deal.

I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner. I really gotta get on that as mine is wrinkling too. Part of it may have to do with your wallet in your back left pocket. Since i've moved it to the front its not that bad.
