Not, IMO, to the same extent. And it must not be much abrasion since my leather holds up fine for decades without any real attention.
Eh, not arguing, and I don`t like that I probably sound like it Just saying that I wouldn`t do *intentional* abrasion to redo some particular leather treatment, but then I don`t need to coat them anyhow and if I did I`d quite possibly see it differently.
