  -> Thank you Sven.

neutral  Graham Timmins: I would not be so hasty as to assume that this is a dye, but if so then by definition it's not a surface treatment. Leather paints also exist and these would be more on the surface than a dye, which actually implies penetration into the material.

  -> Assuming that the leather has already been treated and the 'final' operation is simply to create a finish then dye is appropriate. What is your answer to the question?
