Restoring softness to leather?

I've got leather seats from a 1997 Volkswagen and the leather seems "hard". All the leather in mk3 VWs seem to have a stiffness that I just don't like. I'm wondering if there is a way to soften them up or is it just the way it is?



I was thinking to try connolly hide food, lexol or leatherique. The latter being an expensive test if softening up the leather isn't even possible.



Additionally, I would say the leather has been neglected. Barely any creases in the leather and they seem clean.



Edit: I believe the leather has a "top coat", so in my research in the forum archives, I've seen ppl just recommend 303 to block UV. I'm wondering if it's even possible to make my seats softer if they have a top coat? I'm leaning towards either Eagle One, Pinnacle or Lexol.
 
try the connoly or leatherique. I've heard that the best "softening" results come from the leatherique, but I wouldnt know as I only use Lexol and Zaino Z-10 on mine.
 
where can i get this leatherique???

i have a 2k1 maxima, and the leather just isn't like the european leather. i thought i just had to live with it, but if something can be done, i'll try it out.
