Bee's wax for leather interior

I read some threads where leather seat upkeep was discussed and I am now wondering if anybody has used Bee's wax to treat the leather on their seats.

bees wax is one of the ingredients of Obenaufs leather treatment , look for a thread about this stuff, it is nothing short of miraculous

My upholstery shop has never heard of it and she uses baby oil..i have never tried it as it does not seem right to squeeze oil out of babies..

As an almost empty nester, I would say either way would work.

I bought a bar of pure beeswax thinking it might be a worthwhile path to preserving top grain leather seats. Is of no use in pure form---it's hard. Even melted and applied to leather it does not work.

Here's a thread about the stuff, after reading it I'm ready to give it a try as well.

Soften those "cardboard stiff" leather seats!
