ware marks on leather ?

I have been planning to put gray leather cream type polish on my seats where the Leather is scuffed from getting in and out. I was hoping this will help slow the ware. My old MB ***** through in that same place. Question ? Is this a good idea or will it just rub off? What do otrhers of you do to protect edges from ware ?

Leatherique "klear kote" really protects edges from wear. It does a great job imo however it does alter the appearance slightly.

I read your post on leather care and looked for Leatherique Products at a couple auto parts places. Who might carry it or is it something you order?
What type of change to the apperance are you talking about with Leatherique "klear kote" ? My seats are light gray and I would think they would show a lot. ?( but maybe it would be worth the protection from ware )

It makes the seats slightly glossy. The leatherique rejuvenator oil and pristine clean will deep clean and strengthen your leather. The finish left by those two products is an extremely matte natural look. I use the clear coat on my drivers bolsters as I have seen several other 3-series wear in that area.
