how to apply the conditioner in a leather car seat? Does this come with a brush? I read, the conditioner is like honey. Is it sticky, how long does it take to dry?

The product does not come with a brush. I would not recommend the product as it is very, very sticky and hard to get off. I can't remember how long it took to dry. Disliked it so much I threw it away.

I use anything soft like cotton rags or old washcloths and squirt the conditioner onto the rag, vice onto the leather. Then, just rub it onto the leather in circular or back and forth motion. It is actually very forgiving to apply and even if the leather looks 'wet' or darker and gets streaky why applying, it all evens out as it is absorbed and dries in. I rub hard to work it into and and really get into the crevices and seams on our furniture and car upholstery. When first applied, it looks like shiny, sticky honey, so don't freak out. It does not dry shiny nor sticky. Depending on the type of leather and the condition and temperatures, give it at least an hour or two to soak in. If you have older leather that has never been conditioned, think of it like skin that gets dried out-- literally and figuratively. It may take 2 or 3 applications to get it rehydrated. Applying it liberally the first time or two on our antique pieces seemed to work best. Also, this only works on REAL leather! Not patent leather, not pleather, not vinyls.

I only know how to apply it to a pair of shoes and no it does not come with an applicator or a brush just use a rag, not sticky and it dries overnight.

Not sticky. No brush. Dries within half hour. Take a clean cotton cloth apply on cloth rub on leather, done.

Yup that's pretty much it. Although I would advise you spray onto the towel you're using instead of the car seat as it's less messy and you don't have the potential of sitting on a glob of product you missed later on. Other then that this stuff is great. I use it on all my leather products (belts, wallets, etc) and it cleans and conditions without darkening.Good luck!

I used one of those big sponges you use to wash your car because that was what I had. It worked well becaus it was so big. I was able to do a couch and a love seat with it. I rinsed it out when I was done and I wouldn't use it again until it was dry. Does that answer your question? I remember also using paper towel for something in addition to the sponge. Sorry, it was a long time ago. It brightens up the leather, less dullness hiding a lot scuffs, etc.

Stick well to mine. After several times of removing it and leaving it on the car seat, it became dusty and it reduced its stickiness. Just wipe it with a damp and it is good as new. Hope that helps.

Like you would waxing a car. Just rub it on, let it dry about 3-4 minutes and rub it off. Its really easy to use

I would not recommend mink oil because it tends to soften leather. You might be better off using a leather reconditioning cream. I have used the one made by Lexol with good results in both my car and on a leather couch. It penetrates the leather. You let it absorb and then buff it with a clean, lint-free cloth.

I don't know about the car seat, but we have only hand washed it. We use a wool wash (Eucalan Lanolin Enriched Delicate Wash, purchased on Amazon). And then we just hang it out to dry. It will look really matted when its wet, but will dry nicely and be just as soft and fluffy as when new. We really have only ever washed if when our kid's thrown up or something serious. Due to the lanolin in wool, it is naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal. When urine or breast milk comes in contact with wool - even saturating it - wool is self-cleaning due to lanolin's anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Rather than washing with regular detergent and rinsing, wool should be soaked or washed in a lanolin wash and not rinsed. This is important to know, because rinsing the lanolin from the wool will take away many of the benefits. The lanolin is the natural wax that needs to remain in the wool in order to help make it so amazing! Hope this is helpful. And we have washed ours every 6mos or so, outside of the situations I mentioned above :)

Sorry to hear that. It didn't happen to me. After dying and drying, nothing came off during rubbing off with damp towel and applying leather protectant.

It is better to use the cleaner first. The conditioner suggest you clean first with a damp cloth mixed with mild soap and warm water. We found the leather nova leather cleaner works better and faster.

For me the product dries fast and is not sticky. I think it dries in less than five minutes. I'm sure it depends on the amount you put on. Hope this helps.

I would strongly recommend the cleaner first. I cleaned my original leather rear seats on my 69 firebird and then used the conditioner. They look like new!

I love this product. You only have to use a small amount. I have short hair and use it after towel drying my hair, then use a round brush to blow it dry. No stickiness or grease.

I think that you need to use a good leather cleaner and I am not saying that Honey Leather cleaner is not a good one but if after trying that one first, I would try others until I had all of the stain removed before I would us the Leather Honey conditioner on the leather.

I have a MB-M350 leather seat and it works fine and cleans+condition the seat well. I also use it on my leather couch and lazy boy - it removes all the dirt and stain marks + condition it nicely (shinny finish). The only drawback is its packaging - when I received the shipment - one of the bottles is not tightly screwed and half of the bottle is spilled + gone and makes it a bit messy inside the box.

Hi... its like washing like when you shampoo your hair... instead you use conditioner.. you rub it in from scalp to your ends.. I massage my hair for about 10-15 mins and rinse it out..and then put leave in conditioner in.. but if you go to Youtube.. there are lots of videos about co washing.. but FYI.. I still use shampoo once in a while. Cheers!!!

I used it on my Lincoln with perforated black leather & it was OK. The leather looked really good after this stuff. I used only a very small amount of the cleaner and the conditioner and didn't load the stuff on there. I believe the conditioner was thicker so use a small amount on the applicator and rub it onto the leather. I wouldn't put it directly on the seats.
