It seems to work well on my car seat and sofa leather, too. Rob Weiss '99 Mystique, 2.5L, MTX,Black/Tan, 37K miles SVT Air Intake & Throttle Hang Plug Build Date: December 14, 1998

Mike I'm going to make myself look really old now, but when I grew up we used Neats Foot Oil to soften our baseball gloves. The stuff works great, gets a bit messy, and will probably stain anything lighter than a dark grey or blue. I think its still available at hardware stores.

Use as directed every six weeks. I have also heard good things about Meguiars and Mothers. 98 Silver Frost SVT "I was doing fine until I ran out of talent."
