I rubbed it in to the leather seats on my car today and they shine like a shiny thing even when it drys.
Also if its good for babyskin it must be good for leather(cow skin).

I always wonder how many babies it takes to make a bottle of that stuff.

Be careful it doesn't mark your clothes.

Off topic, a well known tip now but if you have stainless steel sinks, hobs, worktops, splashbacks etc then wiping with a bit of baby oil after cleaning keeps them all shiny, stops water marks and makes them loads easier to clean if anything gets spilt/burnt on them.

They must be in that room the missus calls the kitchen then, think I can recall seeing the above items on me way through to the couch


Here at Wedg1e Villas, compact living is the order of the day. I can just about reach out and touch that....er...'cooker' thing in the 'kitchen' whilst still sofa-bound in the Computer Suite. I don't mean 'bound' as in ropes and chains, although come to think of it... did I say 'come'? Somebody mentioned baby oil and rude girls, ooer matron me knees have gone....

For rubber, the best dressing is Glycerine. You can purchase it at the drugstore - the chemist if you speak English. Rub it in throughly, then wash off the excess as you wash the car. Use it instead of soapy water when you install new rubber. The alkali in soap attacks the paint and metal under the rubber.

For stainless steel kitchens, use beeswax. It's safe for food, can be thinned for application, and isn't sticky or oily.

FWIW, Baby Oil is good for some things. It rates second only to "Good and Plenty" candy as the odor that suggests sex to women!

Or that 'Cat Milk' you can buy for your pets. They must be some well-behaved cats in that Cat Milk Farm.

Intresting night was it sir?....
Back of the Saab was it sir?
Massage it in deep to the hide sir!
Ooooh -leather sir, suits you sir!

I don't actually have a car with leather seats at the momment so I'll take your word.
It doesn't come out so easy on fabric...... so I've heard....

The baby wipes which contain baby oil are excellent for spot cleaning leather.

I doubt very much that 'Next' will be stocking any in their autumn/winter collection...!!

That stuff Big Al gave me on Saturday night really did the trick Better than baby oil!
