Does this provide some level of leather conditioning, make it softer less likely to crack?

No it doesn't. It still cracks, but everytime I reapply it, the cracks are masked. It beats shining boots and gear for hours though.

My Bomber jacket is lamb skin and after 15 years of use was extremely soft so I never considered using the sandpaper. I would discourage you from doing this. First if you use a very good penetrating product such as Leatheriqe, which I have used for over 15 years it will soften the leather without sanding the finish. Second, because this product is water based, it caused streaking on my jacket and caused it to become much harder and significantly less supple. I have applied over 5 coats of Leatherique and the jacket is still not as supple as before! Leatherique has taken 15 year old leather car seats and turned them into new showroom condition in two applications. IF your product has ALWAYS being hard, then a light sanding MAY allow a very good penetrating product to soften your leather, but this is beyond my experience.

You could use any kind of hand cream to soften the leather. Apply 3-4 times within 2-3 days. Cream should be applied 3 minutes before wearing them. I learned this trick from a pro. :)

In my opinion, no. Mink oil softens leather, which, in your case, isn't a good thing because the jacket is already aged. You might better try one of the leather restoration products from Lexol. They come in sprays and rub-on creams. I use it on an old leather couch once a year and it helps add some luster.

Depends on the type of leather, I guess. It is a process and this product will help. It did help me to keep my motorcycle leather stuff supple.

Your leather item will look good after cleaning, however from my experience, following up with the conditioner gave the leather a more supple feel and enhanced the color. I was very pleased with the outcome.The Leather Honey products are excellent and they have great customer service should you require additional assistance.

I haven't found it too thick. If anything it might makes things a little more slippery against leather seats. But if a car seat is fastened to it proper tension it shouldn't slide around. I suppose if the car seat were not fastened properly I could see the car seat sliding around more easily.

You possibly could, But it may flake after leather has its natural wear and tear...

Since nubuck leather is somewhat akin to suede I'd say no. I am confident that it would condition and preserve the leather since nubuck is top grain cowhide but it would probably ruin the "suede" appearance. Search here on Amazon for nubuck cleaners and conditioners, I found a few.

The way I do it is to keep my finger at the top or bottom so there is just a small crack and I have also folded the closure flap between the front and back. That might cause the leather to crack., though. It does get annoying sometimes though. I still prefer the case to the inconvenience!

It is a soft paste (at ordinary room temperature). When applied, it becomes liquid-like so as to fill every tiny crevice in the leather. This is a truly incredible treatment!

I can't say for sure it will make the texture like new? I can say it will make the leather soft again. If the leather has faded at all it will darken it and be soft and waterproof.

I dont know if will protect but it will soften as long as it is finished leather

I don't think so. This product is more to nourish leather, not to remove blemishes. Sorry.

It's not too think but not thin enough to feel any pain if the string hits the leather. I love mine.

Hi Jeffrey, yes, Leather Honey is excellent on exotic leathers like those. We do always recommend a spot test in a discreet area first.

It sure doesn't seem to damage the leather. I've been using three of these for two months and so far my seats are in great shape.
