I tend to wear raw denim which is probably a bad idea for someone that cares about the leather in their car. Anyway, it has a tendency to transfer dye and I'm wondering how good are products like Gyeon Leather coat or Chemical Guy's Leather serum in preventing it. I know Carpro Leather and Gyeon Leather shield are coatings but they are kind of out of my budget even if they last longer.

I also heard that you shouldn't apply any protectant on top of leather that has conditioner applied. Is that true?

IMO:
This product is more than reasonably
priced for the protection it provides:

I have a review on this. If you are within the lower 48 states I will gladly send it to you to try out and see if it works for you. I would recommend to clean the leather prior to applying.

Besides cleaning and protecting the leather, you might consider putting a thin cotton cloth across the seat bottom to act as a barrier between your denim & the leather.
