Scott,
I have used saddle soap but found that it builds up over time and you
cant use Armor-All or similar over it (it doesnt mix)
The most likely area for cracking is the top of the dash where sun
exposure is greatest. All the time it ISNT cracked, there really isnt any
need to do anything . . . .but, if it eventually does, the "caps" sold by
most of the major parts suppliers are very effective, relatively cheap,
easy to install and mostly undetectable!
