Default Leather care?

I just smeared HD leather dressing all over my bags, seat, and tour-pak. I assume this stuff is decent. How often shoulddo you treat yourleather.

Assume you buffed off the excess so you can repeat the application when ever the surfaces appear dull after normal cleaning. IMO

The stuff says let it sit over night and then buff off. Right?

"How often should you clean your leather"
When you need to.

Just used some "Doc Baileys" leather care on some older black leather. It really brought back the leather and saftened it up. Have not used it before, but right know I think it is pretty good stuff. Is supposed to be water repellant and seal stitched areas. So far so good.
Lots of good leather care products out there, just have to find one you like.

I have used Red Wing Boot Oil on my saddle bags and jacket. I figured that I may as well use it up rather than buy yet another cleaning product to line the shelve.
I also use the McQuires towels when I just need to get the dust off.
God Damn don't we all sound like a bunch of homos when we get to talking cleaning products.
