I bought the same stuff, smells nice, but doesn't seem like it's working too well on the really dry rear and hard headrests. Maybe twice a week application should do the trick. BTW, anyone had the same situation where their rear headrests are hardening due to the constant sun exposure? I'm tinting the windows soon, but not sure if I just need to replace them both or just keep trying to restore them to the supple leather they used to be.

IMO products that claim to clean and condition don't work as well as two seperate products.

I use Connoly Hide Care once every 4 months. The kit comes with the cleaner, the conditioner, and some applicators. Doesn't take too long, you just have to let the conditioner sit over night. This stuff works wonders, I highly recommend it.
