How do YOU apply leather conditioner?

Re: How do YOU apply leather conditioner?

Best trick EVER. Use a hair dryer to heat the leather. You'll know it's ready to condition when it's taut...the wrinkles will shrink, wear on the driver(the most sat in) seat will go back to almost new. THEN apply the conditioner. As the leather cools down the pores close, sealing the conditioner into it...not just on top.

I'm a huge fan of Zymol for this because they have seperate cleaner and conditioner.

Great tip on leather

Interesting process.

I dont use that product, but I will apply with a terry or MF cloth usually, and then let sit for a few minutes, and come back to buff off excess.

Thought I'd ask if there is a better way than how I do it now. I use Lexol and spray down a section and work it in with a Meguair's foam pad. If the leather suks it all up, I repeat until it won't absorb any more. The instructions say to then buff it off but I just leave it dry. Any better way to do it?
