Baby Oil?
#3
Not a great idea really, here are a couple informed opinions ( people who work in the leather field) on it pulled from a Google search:
And:
With so many products made especially for (safe!) leather care, there's really no reason to go experimental on your leather and possibly bring it to an early demise.
Just be careful.
The fastest way to ruin a leather garment is to use the wrong product in its care. Baby oil is not healthy for your leather. It is an oil based dirt collector that will eventually saturate the garment. Most of it is mineral oil, which is an enemy of leather fiber.
The finish on most outer garment leather is intrinsically water repellent. Don't expect to make leather water proof without destroying it. In treating leather garments, less is more. There are many commercial silicone based and other non-mineral oil "water proofing" products available that "float" on the surface and will not harm your garment. Use it sparingly and in moderation and your garment will last a lifetime.
I am occasionally asked to save or restore leather outer garments that have been improperly treated, usually with penetrating oil products. A job [which is] usually not possible. A leather garment should be water repellent and will resist a surprisingly large amount of water without any treatment at all. If you want water proof get Goretex.

My Dad works with leather, and I work with him, so... One word of advice when "un-distressing" leather: do _*not!*_ use baby oil to condition it. I made that mistake once. It makes it tacky and the leather dye comes off. Use Lexol. It works.

Lexus seat leathers are different than what Honda uses. Lexus are coated to wear longer.
It a good idea to use what is designed for the vehicle and it's leathers.
Lexus supplies a fine conditioner and cleaner. Connolly Hide Care is also a good brand
