Meguires makes a respectable vinyl cleaner/ protector, but there are a few things that are playing against you. With the vinyl cleaners/ protectors, you have to be ahead of the drying out period of your vinyl. If your vinyl is already at the point in its life that it is cracking, there is no product that I know of that can make it pliable again. Vinyl has several ingredients in it's make up. Several plasticizers, formaldehyde etc. Once the plasticizers and formaldehyde evaporate out over many years, the vinyl is in a state of decline that might not be able to be reversed. I know we have all seen the commercials for leather rejuvenating products, but leather is different. You have a really nice seat, well worth preserving. I fear that once you take the seat cover off the foam bun, your are in for more damage to the vinyl. Meaning that once someone starts moving and folding it to work it under the sewing machine for restitching, it may have more damage than you are expecting. I would either leave it alone for now, or you could just face the fact that your vinyl needs replaced. You could have a good trimmer replace only the vinyl with a good match. You still have your fabric section, by the way is the hardest part to find and replace.
