Exclamation Trash baggin'

Hey does putting a plastic bag or something over conditioned seats and putting the car out in the sun for the conditioner to soak in make a difference?
I've heard it does because the bag allows for more heat to be trapped and also the conditioner cannot prespirate or whatever off of the seats so the bag will make it go into the leather.

any suggestions?
oh yea im using Zymol leather conditioner b/c I'm still gonna order some leatherique and I can't find any lexol at ANY car stuff store!

This technique works for leatherique only. Zymol doesn't work like leatherique does, dries into the leather almost instantly. Leatherique needs to sit on the leather for like 24 hours.

I like leaving the car in the sun after I wax (to admire it for a while) and then put Hide Food on the seats. I don't know if it works any better but they seem to soak it up faster.
