If you want to keep your seat looking like new, do the Lexol again and periodically when you wash your bike. It will make a leather seat last just about forever. My leather Danny Gray seat is 15 years old and still looks new. Glad it worked out well for you, but I knew it would. Lexol is some pretty good stuff.

Get it real wet, then roll it up in the opposite direction of the curl.
Use something to hold it there, closepins, etc.
leave it that way until it dries out, then remove the clips.

Try it, it's cheap and easy. Then of course use you favorite conditioner after.
