Leather Honey Leather Conditioner

Anyone try this on our leather yet?

Amazon Amazon

http://leatherhoney.com/

The reviews seem to be almost all positive, however there are a couple that say it left spots on their couch. This company has been around since the 60's and seem to have great customer service.

I wonder how our (crappy) leather would react to this stuff?

I've used it on my TL. It's exactly what it sounds like, honey-leather. Its very sticky and you really have to rub it in. It works pretty well. You have to wait 2 hours after you apply it then wipe down any excess amount

If it is really as rewarding as people have claimed, im sure it is worth the extra elbow grease. I would probably let it sit overnight though. Thanks!

Automotive Leather Upholstery

[I wonder how our (crappy) leather would react to this stuff?]

Isocyanate based ethyl carbamate (urethane) finished leather upholstery is used by 95% as OEM in modern automobiles. It comprises a multi stratum acrylic and polyurethane resin binder system covering over the leather hide; the top strata are the surface pigmentation (colour) and an abrasion resistant urethane is used to improve flexibility, fastness and adhesion to the leather, then two or three aqueous (water- based) pigmented base coat applications.

And then a clear aqueous (water- based) top coat is applied as the final stage of the finishing process, which usually includes additives to give it a soft feel (patina) and abrasion resistance, as well as a limited amount of ‘slide’ to assist in entering and exiting the vehicle

Simple cleaning, hydration and protection are the three steps that will prolong the life of finished leather;
urethane doesn’t require conditioning or rejuvenation
