I want to protect the inside but am afraid to try anything. I took my last car to a car wash and they used something on my seats that didn't seem to absorb very well and it kinda got on my clothes. Would you use a leather or a pleather(plastic) cleaner for the seats? Thanks.

Default "Pulp Fiction". OK, serious question, deserves serious answer.

Personally, I wouldn't put anything on the seats simply to protect the leatherette. If it needs to be cleaned, soap and water should do it.

Default As for cleaning I've found baby wipes to be very good...

I don't think cracking is an issue with leatherette, I mean it's not real leather that needs moisture, but I could be wrong. At any rate my is fine as shows no signs of aging or cracking after 1.5 years and 50,000 miles.
