Product Information

With the Meguiar's Ultimate leather conditioner, you will be able to restore and renew the condition of worn leather surfaces and keep them nice-looking for a long time. Present on the market for over 50 years, the Leather Honey leather conditioner still takes the lead and remains one of the best products for leather maintenance so far. That's for a good reason. Once perfect formula successfully withstood the test of time and still stays strong against many modern products. If your leather items have seen better days, consider trying Chamberlain’s Leather Milk Healing Balm. It comes in an easy-to-use balm form, which keeps your cleaning routine from getting overly messy, as liquids or sprays can be. Never wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row, Powell says: “Excess moisture, including sweat, can damage your shoes. Ensuring your shoes dry out naturally between each wear will help extend their lifespan.”

Essentially, this is aniline-type leather that has been infused with waxes and oils to make it incredibly soft but very tough as the hide is manipulated through use, the colour is pulled through the fibres to create variations on the surface. Pigmented Leather A clean dry surface is essential to ensure leather care balm is absorbed properly. Leather Wax/Leather Care BalmLeave the leather wax for several minutes to soak in, then buff it to a nice shine with a soft cloth. Leather Protection Cream The main purpose of the Balm is to restore the colour though so, if you are looking to condition your leather, we recommend using our Leather Protection Cream, as this is one of its main purposes. The Leather Colour Doctor is dedicated to delivering professional-grade leather care products that you can count on. For shoes with narrow heels, like stilettos, timely maintenance is particularly important. Velakoulis says if a stiletto has been worn down it can be dangerous: “Not only can you slip, but you risk damaging your heel as well because there’s a lot of pressure on it.”

Step two is to apply a waterproofing spray. Velakoulis advises doing at least three coats for leather (suede requires more). Repeat this process after six months of wear. Breeze Powell, one of the founders of Post Sole Studio, a shoemaking business in Melbourne, recommends Tarrago’s Nano Protector spray for shoes. Genuine leather has an advantage in the sense that there are more cleaning products labeled specifically for leather available at the store and online,” explains Sardone.A. It is not crucial that the colour matches the colour chart. Our Re-Colouring Balm is designed to cover multiple shades of any colour, and so will blend in as it is applied. The more Balm you apply the darker the colour will get. When you invest in leather goods, you expect them to last a long while. Leather is a tough, hard-wearing, natural material that should serve you well for decades.

Apply the leather wax with a soft cloth or polish applicator and gently massage it in using circular motions. Focus on faded areas to restore the colour and achieve an even tone across the surface. This tried and tested leather cleaner was originally created in the 1970s for Gliptone, the highly-respected automotive leather care specialists, so you can be confident that it is of the highest quality. Sprays can be easier to use and help you coat larger areas of the leather, but you’ll want to avoid accidentally spraying other items or spraying too much cleaner. Liquid cleaners are also easy to apply but can get messy and typically take a little more time to work into the leather. Sardone’s team recommends pouring liquid cleaner onto a microfiber cloth to help control how much you use—you don’t want to saturate the leather with too much cleaner.

If your shoes are leather, Powell says you can use a soft lint-free cloth and mild, diluted soapy water. To add further protection, we recommend applying our Leather Protection Cream as this will help protect the leather and give further colour fastness. The solution contains wax emollients and pigments that penetrate deep into the grain to restore the colour and keep the leather supple. Rub the Leather Balm into the leather in a circular motion to ensure penetration. This is enough to completely restore the colour. Leave the Balm to soak into the leather for 10 minutes, then take a clean cloth and buff the surface of the leather. Make sure there is no excess Balm left on the leather. Maintenance after applying Leather balm The Balm can be used in conjunction with this kit to restore the colour to the other areas of leather though.
