Excuse my dumbness. What does this do

Looks pretty bad.

Leather should have a matte look to it. Not shiny.

You shouldn't use and conditioners on leather. Just clean them well and protect with a leather guard. No conditioners/milks etc. they are crap.

keep the leather in good condition... keeps it moist, that is not dry and does not crack.

it's not new car... 11 years old. seats are in perfect condition and little cleaning won't damage them

Wrong. Moisture and dirt crack leather.

Cleaning them stops them cracking.

Im no pro detailer but, leather is basically skin, so surely a bit of a cream of some sort would go a long way in stopping it from cracking?

On a slightly different note (as I've no idea what you're "supposed" to do with leather) what can be done to clean alcantara? Yours looks horrible :s

Wrong mate, common misconception and of course marketing from these leather specialists.
