<< Has anyone used "Hide Food" from a Jaguar dealership on your leather seats?
 Seems like I remember someone (maybe on the Porsche list) saying they had
 bought it and it worked really well on the seats.  The A6Q is starting to
 get those lines on the driver's seat, and although I put Lexol on it every
 month or so, when I put the Lexol on it always seems to make the lines look
 worse until it dries, and then after it dries and a few days pass, it
 doesn't seem like I did anything to the seats at all.  The car only has 50k
 on it now, but I'll probably keep it until 200k, so I'd like to keep the
 seats looking sharp. >>

i had those hairline cracks on the sport seats in my 5kT and 5kTQ.  since 
theyre tu-tone black/grey, i bought some "Kiwi Leather dye" in black, then 
wiped it on the seats, and let it soak into the cracks, and wiped it off. it 
filled the cracks great.  then i used some generous amounts of "Eagle 1 
Leather conditioner" that i bought from a local FLAPS. i let the conditioner 
sit on there overnight, and wiped the excess off in the morning.
works great.
