I know UV protection is the way to prevent cracking (garage, cover, sunshield, ...). My '79 280zx has a single small crack right in the middle. I actually bought a Covercraft soft cover to install. Before I install it, I was hoping to give it a good conditioning and rejuvenate it if at all possible. Google and site searches aren't turning up anything concrete.
What do you guys use to keep it conditioned and prevent cracking?

I remember back in 2005 I worked for Acura dealer.
The black dashboards in the TL we’re returning white, they issued a service bulletin telling us to clean it using lexol leather conditioner, this is what I used one time on my 1975 crack free z dash .
I just keep it dusted now and I cover it with a soft dash cover when it’s out in the sun.
