I've applied the oil on the front seats, let it sit for ~24 hrs with windows/windshield blocked in outside sunny hot day. The oil did not get absorbed as much as I thought it should. The company said that I previously used products that contains silicons that may impede the oil from penetrating but I doubt either LM or BMW uses silicons ?

Did you intentionally get the scrub ninja applicator pad as opposed to using the brush that came with my leatherique kit? Is it supposed to be more gentle than the brush?
Just want some opinions about the scrub ninja vs brushes!
Thanks
