My picks:
1Z Leather for cleaning the leather (dust leads to leather break down).
Leatherique(expensive but so are your seats) for keeping it soft.
Klasse VLRP for UV protection.
WHeels, I previousl had gunmetal painted wheels with a polished outer lip and MOther's metal polish was good and widely available.
1Z Rubber and Vinyl care is excellent for dash and tires.
P21s wheel cleaner (gel) is the best.

I've been using Lexol for a long time and it does an adequate job but it really doesn't get down in there to keep the leather supple. Cracks come from dried leather that has been tugged for too long.
A 928 owner said that the Leatherique restored his 15 year old seats back to soft-like new.
The cracks are avoidable you just need to stay on top of the leather by keeping it out of the sun as much as possible (consider a softop cover), taking extra detailing care during the winter months when the cold leather can crack easiest, and keeping your wallet and other object out of your back pockets. I also considered Wet-Okole Porsche seat covers which look great but pricey.

I also noticed they sell a crack filler and dyes.
