My seats defintely aren't in great condition!!
But like I mentioned, I put the Lexol on my front seats at least 6 months ago, probably closer to 8-9. And I park my car outside, so it gets HOT in there. The Lexol has to have worn off, I assume. I should also mention that my seats have tons of surface cracks on them (TONS), and the Lexol did seem to gloss over those cracks to make them somewhat less visible. I thought it was really neat at the time, but it made the seats somewhat too smooth and plastic-like for my taste. I don't remember what the seats felt like before the Lexol anymore.
As for brushing the leather in my seats with a nail brush... I'm embarrased to say that I don't know what a nail brush is. I think the Leatherique website recommends 400 grit sandpaper, but I'm not crazy about using that. I'm afraid that it might take the dye right off my seats leaving them a dull gray instead of black. How about one of those brushes used to clean bathtubs? Or maybe a toothbrush?
What do you use to apply the RO? I've been using my latex-gloved hand, but I feel like a paintbrush might be more efficient. Also, how hard should I "massage" the leather? Initially I just wiped it with my hands, but then I decided to really massage it in with a good deal of force. I did notice that the RO seemed to absorb into the cracks of the seats but not in the parts without cracks. My front seats have lots of cracks, but the rear bench has none but yet is stiff as a board.
