Using a clean soft cloth or your fingers, apply the dressing in light coats. Allow 12 to 24 hours for the dressing to be absorbed into the leather. Apply additional treatments in the same manner until a thin layer of dressing remains on the surface. Each treatment allows fibers in the leather to become stronger, softer and more flexible. Due to the density of the dressing, leather cannot over absorb the conditioner. Remove any excess dressing with a dry soft cloth and gently buff the surface to a soft sheen. Buffing leather melts the blend of waxes to repel water and dust. Follow up treatments 2 to 4 times per year or as needed to maintain proper protection of the leather.
