That's cheaper than from Dodo Juice direct, although I bought a few things from them and got free delivery.
A good deal on ebay then, assuming it's genuine.
I note you said "the instructions - when I finally managed to get to them". Were they in a booklet type thing on the back label that you get to by peeling off the top layer of the label?
If so, then it's probably genuine as I doubt a faker would bother with that.
It took me about 4 or 5 goes to get into the booklet, I kept peeling off the whole label, just to find that most of it is just the same instructions in different languages.

Yes, the instructions were in the booklet sealed behind the label, but as the stuff worked, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t the real thing!

The price I paid was including P&P, by the way.

Again, thanks for the heads up on this.

Remember that automotive leather is semi aniline leather, so the hide is coloured, then a polyurethane crosslink and hardened top is added to give a hardened layer that gives protection to abrasion and staining.

So the after market treatments that treat the grain, is questionable, as the top coat is not permeable, how ever a mild weak detergent is best to clean it.

hope that helps...
