Obenauf'sObenauf's Heavy Duty LP Leather Preservative (4oz)- All Natural Beeswax Oil Conditioner- Rejuvenate Restore & Preserve Sunfaded or Cracked Boots Jackets Saddles Car Auto Upholstery Furniture- USA Made

This cream is wonderful to condition leather. I apply it with my finders, it melts from the warmth of my fingertips just enough to get a small amount onto my hands and onto the leather. Does not leave a sticky residue and absorbs nicely as long as you don't lather it on. A little is plenty.All leather conditioners will darkenkighter colored leather just a little bit, that is not the fault of the conditioner. It keeps leather subtle and makes small scratches less noticable.

Oh wow this stuff is the real deal. I’ve used many different leather conditioners/protectors over the years and this one is honestly the best.The price is just right, especially considering a little goes a long way. It works better than anything I’ve used before, and left my leather soft, supple, and protected, but with absolutely no sticky or oily residue. Plus, it smells good and also made my hands feeling kinda soft afterwards.It lasts a LONG time, I applied some on my pocket notebook cover and my one pair of boots over a month ago, and it’s holding up tremendously. Both of these items receive daily, rigorous use and abuse, and they’re both still soft and supple over a month later, no need to reapply yet. The boots still repel water and muck, and when I applied it initially, the leather drank in the conditioning like it just crossed a desert, so I applied a second treatment the next day.I forgot to snap a photo, but they looked like the equivalent of turning a sun-worn, wrinkly 80 year old sailor into a fresh, baby-faced supermodel. Shiny, rejuvenated, ready for action.I recommend the Obernauf Heavy Duty LP for all your leather needs. I’ve been steadily applying it to everything I have.Though I’m not sure about things like couches or car seats, unless given very ample time to dry/absorb, bc I was overzealous and put the notebook cover back on my notebook only about an hour or so after applying the LP, and it left some spotting/moisture marks on the paper it was in contact with. Just a heads up.

Works as advertised. I used this on an old leather motorcycle jacket. The leather soaked it in quickly and now the leather is soft and flexible again.I also used it on some old duck boots and couldn’t believe how much it improved the flexibility of the leather. Water beads on the leather like they were new again.It can darken the leather so test in an inconspicuous place first.

Does as it says, It keeps my feet dry. Also helps a lot with the break in period if applied to brand new boots. I wouldn’t use this on light dress shoes/ boots, will darken them quite a bit. Just something to be mindful of for those that care. Also great at bringing life to old, dry leather.

amazing, in fact magical.i have a lot of leather motorcycle jackets and western, as well as hiking, boots. so i'm not a neophyte when it comes to conditioners and preservatives. but i'd only purchased the liquid kind, and good brands.this stuff is leagues beyond oil or liquid leather condidioners. bought it to darken several pairs of cowboy boots that the better leather oils/liquids did not really affect...including not really getting rid of the dryness of some boots, mostly new for that matter, that came dryer than i'd like.the pairs of lucchese, justin and dan post didn't really show any difference from the oils/liquids after they soaked in and a month had gone by. so i figured there is something to using a thick cream/paste with a great reputation like obenaufs. and indeed there was.first, it darkened (as i wanted) a full shade a much too light golden brown pair of justin bent rail distressed boots. at first it took some of the distressing away, but as the cream dispersed fully into the leather from the surface layer, some of that richness and 'damaged distressed' look came back, including the depth and richness of the leather.next came the hard case, a pair of dan post distressed square toe apache 'earp' boots. have to say the uneven leather texture on these went beyond distressing, they had creases in inappropriate places (where wear would NOT take place) plus the color variation looked dopey, with the toes very dark like they'd been dipped in chocolate, and the rest of the boot with better looking variation. they were also dry as a bone (and that's NEW).i'd already tried to darken and condition them a bit, but the oils, didn't help even after 2 applications. the LP was a different story, applied after a slight warming and partial liquification in my hand, it went into the leather like water in a dry sponge. the variety of shades from the distressing disappeared into a deep rich brown, which at least took away the chocolate-dipped toe look. BUT within several days the depth and richness of the distressed leather came back to a much lessened extent, but at least it looked real than the overdone original manner. as the obenaufs dispersed deeper into the leather, drying into the boot...the magic began.on boot trees, the leather began to reform and tighten around the boot trees, bringing great shape to the boots that they hadn't even had when i got them new a few months back...sorry dan post, but these had a rumpled and unequal look that was allegedly supposed to be 'distressing'.after the obenaufs conditioned the leather, and tightened their rumpled look, helping lessen some awkward dimpling and creases, i got the idea of laying obenaufs into some particularly ill placed creases and dimples on one of the boots, figuring it might allow the leather to get needed moisture and conditioning so the creases and dimpled depressions could fill.for once i was right about something, and after a day when the cream i'd laid into those depressions soaked in, it indeed lessened the creases and dimples. a little working in with my fingers, and pressing to flatten, helped. after a second such application, i removed almost completely one bad crease that no kind of wear would have ever naturally created, and had probably occurred by leaving too loose leather on the original wooden last during (bad) construction.despite my problems with the original boot, after some work with the obenaufs, these are incredible...the best part being that virtually all of the dan post defects during manufacture were eliminated...and those that weren't, were lessened immensely so that if anything, they look like real distressing.amazing stuff!
