If people are happy using conditioner then I don't have a problem with that at all

However it is still useless as mentioned. Yes it can give a nice smell etc but it quickly gets removed from using the seats. When it soaks in then yes the all important lacquer would have been removed.

Just a little tip - use a brush when using leather cleaner as it cleans into the grain far better and give a superior finish. The problem with just throwing conditioner onto un-protected (non lacquer) finish is that eventually the colour will start to wear off - then it's a case of restoration. Personally I would clean using a brush until dirt free and towel off, then if the colour is good use a spray lacquer (if it needs it) to seal it in and prolong the finish. Finally use a good leather aroma spray to give a true leather smell.

Only all in my opinion of course
