I don't know if this is old or new news to anyone but while researching what I could use around the household to soften up an old leather wallet, I found that cocoa butter is a very good moisturizer/polisher for just about anything leather.
Since I bic my head all the time, I had a tub of cocoa butter I use to moisten the scalp after a shave. After using it on my old wallet, I discovered that it worked quite well! Then the thought occurred to me that this might do wonders on my leather seats.
I applied it to the passenger seat first and all I could muster was 'wow!' I hand applied it and rubbed it in to the seat then wiped the excess of with a soft cloth.
So, lesson learned; I don't need to buy all those expensive, fancy leather moisturizing products for the car anymore, just a container of good ol' cocoa butter!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I also used it on the shifter and e-brake boot as well. It sure did work wonders on them. Just had to share this awesome find!
