    I've been looking into Zymol. Seems to get really good reviews. Maybe someone will chime in.

    First: Dave, WTF? Haven't seen/heard from you in a bit. How's it going?

    Second: I think the wrinkles are inevitable. I've used a variety of products on our Murano's interior, still got wrinkles. Leather will stretch, and I don't think there's anything short of re-stretching it to solve the wrinkles.

    But, I'm a moron... and am likely wrong.

    Try Leathertique conditioner. You apply it wearing a rubber glove or by bare hand. It needs heat to work properly.

    The cracks come from the leather drying out. Leather needs to be moist to stay supple. If dirt gets in the cracks, eventually those wrinkles will turn to tares. See if our sponsor Tropi-Care has some leather food.

    I've used Zymol on my golf shoes (and motorcycle jacket) for many years. Pretty amazing.

    Wrinkles are one thing. What you don't want to follow is cracking and tears (both the separation kind and what you'll be doing if it happens).

    I use Ardex leather cleaner/conditioner, it seems to work ok. I sometimes apply a second coat heavy & let it soak in, but like everyone said wrinkles happen. I have yet to try it on my dink, I'm afraid I'd drowned the little feller.

    So once the you get wrinkles, other than getting the leather stretched out, is there a way to get the wrinkles out?
