I have a cab with blue leather and it has crack lines all over!
Does anyone know what i can use to fill these in or repair them?

Buy some cherry blossom blue polish, and brush in well. (Don't overapply, otherwise you'll just have to work harder to polish it off again.) Then brush off well, and polish with muslin, until no more blue comes off. Then seal further with some Autoglym or similar hide food. Polish well again after another day. Lasts for a good 3 months, and keeps the leather supple too. Works better if car nice and warm too.

Up to you if you try it, works for mem, no g'tee given!
