I recently bought a 91 Brougham with Carmine Red Leather interior.  No tears in the seats but a lot of small cracking.  This is my first "project car" i have ever bought and I am looking for recommendations on a good product to redo the seats.

Seems everybody and his brother has a leather cleaning, rejuvenating, protectant product, some not so good.  Leatherique is recommended by the RROC (Rolls Royce Owners Club) and is what I use (FWIW).  Just recently used the full Leatherique process on my 2007 Cadillac CTS salvage yard front seats to be installed in my 1950 Jaguar Mark V Saloon resto-mod, they came out nearly as new.   the 2006 CTS seats in Big Red will soon receive the Leatherique Pristine Clean and Rejuvenator process when the Jag is finished and I have some time.

X2 for Leatherique.  More labor-intensive that the typical spray and wipe stuff, but it does a great job.

Years ago I was in the Jaguar club and "Hide Food" was the recommended product. It revitalized old leather quite well as I recall.

I got tired of dealing with the "Prince of darkness"  AKA Lucas electrical systems. so left Jaguar behind decades ago!

All that is left of my Jaguar is the original body.  Lucas was one of the first to go --- there is a very long list of Lucas electric jokes.   ;D

Like the one that Lucas invented intermitted wipers...... they didn't mean too, it just happened that way. ;D

If you're not in need of adding color, I have had excellent results using a baseball glove conditioner:
