Default Australian Leather Seal

I bought a can of Australian Leather Seal at Sturgis (yeah, she was kinda hot and I'd have believed anything she said at that moment), and now I'm wondering if anybody has tried it on their bike leather (seat or saddlebags) and what their impression/opinion its quality and performance. Seems to work fine on boots, just a little hesitant to rub it all over the scoot. Historically I use SaddleSoap and HD Leather Dressing.

Thx.

Well, put a second coat on riding boots - must say it holds up pretty well in the New Mexico desert. Need some moisture to determine if the waterproofing works... not inclined to just go wading into the local mud hole (aka Rio Grande) to test it... will wait for natural precipitation, but so far it looks like it works pretty well in keeping the leather from just drying out.
