I LOVE it, and it's hard as **** to take care of, hence why mine is trashed. That "leather" or what I call "pleather" or "mad cow leather" that Chevy uses is a joke, mine has a 104k miles on it, and the drivers seat is completely falling apart, no cushion left, side bolster is torn, etc. I use the good **** on it, I have used Zaino and Pinnacle, etc, it does a good job, but wear is wear, it's gonna happen.All in all it's just pure crap, I will have them re-apholstered with REAL leather someday, but I just can't handle the kind of money it will take to do it right now.

I got that same white **** too....love it, should have gotten it way earlier!
And yes, when I bought my car new, I looked at the cars that had leather....I was just thinking to myself...what the hell kinda crap is that? Must have been made from one of those russian Tschernobyl cows or something. Compared to the leather that was in my mom's ML320.....damn...no comparison!

If you get a rag and some ivory soap and scrub your seats the cracks will be less visible becuase all it is , is trapped dirt. You weill be amazed when you get a bowl of water and some of that ivory and what it will get off your leater seats.

I just cleaned the seats RIGHT before I took those pics, I use Pinnacle leather cleaner and followed it up with Pinnacle leather conditioner.
A lot of those cracks that look like dirt are just NO leather there anymore, they are pretty much disintegrating, when I use the pad to apply the leather conditioner the pad will have white parts of leather on it after it's all done, pretty depressing!!
