Steering wheel dyeing

Hi Gatekeeper

I don't deal with Gliptone as they are not leather furniture specialists, so cannot comment on their products unfortunately. With ref to the conditioner, it really is a waste of money on our leather because it cannot be conditioned - it wont absorb into the leather as there is a lacquer layer on top of the leather.

Leather product manufacturers have a great time selling these though as 99.9% of the public cannot possibly understand why they shouldn't buy it. Some sell the benefit of having an additional 'protector' element added to it - but it soon wears off and is not needed on lacquered finishes.

If it's the smell your after then I ALWAYS only use an aroma spray and spray it onto my car mats (there is no need to spray it on to your seats!). It's the most genuine leather smell I have experienced (although leather doesn't actually smell, it's just the process it goes through that creates 'that' smell). Here it is: http://leathercareandrepair.co.uk/le...cent_spray.php He also sells it on the bay - but for more! It's awesome.

Hope this helps!
