Thanks Wally.
You're tips are always right on. Note there are no silicates/silicon in the ingredients. In a conversation with Joanne from ColorPlus that is what she said to have our old leather avoid. It is in many of the common commercial seat treatments.

Wonder how that compares with Mink Oil. I've had a tin for years, but never got around to using it.

There is no mention as to how long this stuff lasts. That always seems to be a big issue with leather treatments. I use Leather Honey and this stuff lasts a long time on dried out leather.

Deeper in that thread they talk about the differences between the German and US formula for Nivea. If you want to get the original German stuff, this place is great: http://www.smallflower.com/nivea/nivea-cream-400ml-5226

Maybe I'll give the old girl a rubdown with some.

How does it smell?
