By the way do you know of any store or saddle shop that sell the shene stuff i was thinking about putting it on the sterring wheel to protect the leather cause is in sad shape right now.
Satin Shene is a Tandy leather craft product. It's an acryllic coating that will make the leather very resistant to skin oils or other stains. It's also very easy to apply. I just wipe it on with a paper towel and then buff it with a clean cloth when dry.

If you don't have a Tandy store in town, here's a link to their website: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/ I thnk you can order it online.

But - you MUST get the leather as clean as possible before putting this on. You'll probably take the old finish off along with the dirt. But, Satin Shene will "recoat" the leather with a satiny "finish" that's not too unlike the original finish - just more waterproof.

If you don't get all the dirt off, you'll just "seal" it in to the leather with Satin Shene.

My guess is, the seat will not be so dirty and you may get it clean without destroying the finish. Condition the leather afterwards with King Ranch Leather Conditioner or Leather CPR.
