Default Gliptone leather care. WOW, my leather drinks it!

Have just used Gliptone leather cleaner and then Gliptone leather care on my 8 yr old grey leather in my 600. The leather is in good condition and was very clean. When I applied the care cream, the seats consummed almost half a bottle! The cream just dissapeared and has left the seats with 'that' smell and a great sheen. Should I apply another thin coat do you think and do you guys buff the seats afterwards with a clean duster or just leave it?

works well doesn't it?

I have never "buffed", I just wipe off any excess

I think I will give it another 'drink' in a couple of hours and leave it.

You only need a teaspoon to do a full seat!

Just given the seats another drink, they look much better and feel more supple already. Will leave it now for 6 months or so.

Hmm - you might need to check the seat of your trousers over the next day or so after having driven the car
