What puzzles me about leather cleaners/enhancers is that most (all?) modern leather seats are treated with a stain/spill/friction resistant coatings. And for that I'm grateful. I just don't understand how the leather moisturizers etc. can effectively penetrate that "skin" while any other liquid/lotion remains on the surface.

I've always felt better psychologically after having "treated" my seats but never really noticed an appreciable difference. I'm likely wrong, but a lot of times it feels more like hope in a bottle than an actual improvement.
