Refurbish White Leather Captains Chairs

Today, I used saddle soap on the white captains chairs in my recently acquired Monaco Diplomat. The white on the seats is beautiful now that they are clean except where there are cracks in the white finish. Is there a product available to restore the white to the cracked areas?

First I would make sure that they are leather.

Get Covered - Leather vs Vinyl Mythbusters

If so then the Meguiar's Leather Cleaner and Conditioner is one of the best.

If Vinyl, then Aerospace 303 is a great cleaner for vinyl plus it has the UV protection for the vinyl.

Some of the experienced Rolls and Bentley restorers swear by products from Leatherique. Home Page | Leatherique Restoration Products

Although it looks like there's a lot of work involved to get a professional result, this is a good video using the Leatherique products:

White shoe polish in cracked areas. Wipe off before it dries. The shoe polish will act as a dye to the exposed (cracked) areas.

That works. I used black shoe polish on cracked seat leather cracks and wiped off immediately. It was the black shoe paste. Not the liquid.
