Its a wee bit specialised for halfrauds unfortunately.

However, you can online:

Spend 5 minutes looking at some of that gear, it's awesome stuff. Different level compared to Autoglym etc

Also check out www.liquidleather.com

The cleaner and conditioner is excellent, although i haven't tried the stuff to repair cracks.

If the seats are really bad, they can be re-conolised.

Costs about £80/seat, lasts approx 12 months

Of course you must clean the milk of the seats....
