I use the above for my (nevada) leather seats. My seats are in great clean condition, but after applying Leather Love (maybe its just in my head, but) they felt marginally softer.

Shop around; I got leather love and leather guard for under $40AUD for both ($17 and $21 respectively).

A salesman at the local store told me that these two products are water based, as opposed to silicon based. He seemed to believe silicon based leather treatment can destroy leather. From some research silicon seals the leather and doesn't allow it to breath, resulting in cracking. For more info go here: https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashion...endations_and/
AUST. PRODUCT - Bowdensown. I use most of their products and cant fault any of them.
I wash car and wheels with Bowdens because a lot of other Wash Brands are not good for Wheels and they don't tell you that.
I think they have their own chemists as well.

Bowdens say their Products are free of harmful Silicone's, Corrosive Salt, pH neutral, Phosphate free, Biodegradable and contain Rust Inhibiting Agents.
Some Other Brands don't have what their Products contain on the back. I phoned one and they admitted to having a little phosphate.
Any way you can Free Call them to ask any Questions, very helpful and better than any Salesman.

Was my Oil comments of any use to you?
