Leather Honey Leather Conditioner, Since 1968. for All Leather Items Including Auto, Furniture, Shoes, Purses and Tack. Non-Toxic and Made in The USA / 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

A little really DOES go a long way!I've never used conditioner before and through research found this product to be well-revered and time-tested, so was able to comfortably grab a bottle without worrying about the fate of my beloved leathergoods.We were able to condition everything in our household and still have half a bottle remaining. And by everything, I mean tens of goods and some of them conditioned as many as 5 times as they were so dry. This stuff was able to instantly fix the driest, crackliest of leathers. Things that looked and felt surely beyond all repair. We're talking jackets that were rigid like cardboard, leather that was dry and horribly cracked - the works!While it won't fix the cracks (of course), it will rehydrate the leather to prevent further damages. Every single item we conditioned was left supple, like new. I couldn't believe it because I feel that normally things like this are "snake oil". I'm happy I tried, though it was a little nerve-wracking.Here's a list of everything we did, and still have half a bottle remaining:3 leather jackets2 pairs of boots2 pairs of chaps3 watch bands2 leather cuffs2 leather belts2 leather jockstraps4 unmentionable items 😜Most things except the chaps required multiple coats. One jacket was given around 5 treatments because it was stiff as a board. In some parts, I drenched it directly from the bottle and slathered it by hand into a dense coat then left it to absorb. So, as you can see, a little really DOES go a long way! Ain't no marketing gimmick!But, it's not ALL good. One warning: if the leather is worn around your hardware, it's possible it can pull or rip out of the leather. This is because the fibers are likely destroyed, and when you rehydrate, the suppleness allows the hardware to pull through. This is what happened to one of my belts. This is no fault of the Leather Honey but rather just the damaged goods. If you have something you really cherish and it's damaged it's probably better to hand it to a conservator. Thankfully I can repair my belt myself, but it's worth keeping in mind for those special items of yours!I thought my leather was a gonner, so I'm overjoyed to rescue and breathe new life back into it. Happy to have half a bottle remaining for maintainence. The Leather Honey is both quality and value. Given all this, I do recommend this product. Save your goods today!

I used this on a 17 year old Buick. It is in pretty good shape, we don't use it that much with about 100 thousand miles. Anyway, the newer cars get the garage and this one is mainly in the driveway, so it gets a lot of sun (well, my area doesn't seem to get too much warm weather!) The way it is facing it really only gets morning sun but I worried that it would really take a toll on the leather seats.They aren't cracked or faded, but are looking a little creased in places. I cleaned them really well first with a detergent. I used Fantastic spray because it seems to be the best cleaner I have used to get off any oily films (like on my ceramic fireplace surround, on stoves, etc. It was probably a little harsher than many cleaners, but I don't think these seats have been really cleaned in many years. To me, leather is like skin. If I would use it on my skin, I don't fear it with leather. I have used saddle soaps and I used to clean my leather sofa with Dove bar soap. It worked super well, but I needed more aggressive cleaning here. I think Dawn dish soap would also work, but I wanted less water since I wanted to condition soon after cleaning and not wait a day or so after the soap and water.So, seats are clean and ready. I noticed that the headrests and the sides and backs of the front seats looked like a different texture. I wondered if they were not genuine leather, actually being some sort of vinyl or some sort of "bonded" leather.Bonded leather is really ground up bits of leather and other plastics, then the mixture is pressed to a backing and then sealed with something. I mean technically there is some leather ingredients, but if you ever had an office chair where the "leather" peeled off in bits, you know it isn't really like leather. Still, if you are gentle with it and don't expect it to be like split leather or hide, then it is fine.Anyway, I did not use this product on those areas. I kept it to the places where the leather felt like supple and had the deeper markings of the skin. I used 303 Protectant on the vinyl and other plastics in the car. I got the 8oz bottle, because I wasn't sure I would like it. The bottle was sealed with a big piece of tape (I guess to prevent the product from leaking) except when I tried to peel it off, it ripped the entire front label off of the bottle! Luckily I had peel the back more carefully, so I still had the directions. It is simple though, wipe on , wipe off...so I am sure I could have figured it out.It is clear in color and came out of the bottle in a viscous fashion like corn syrup or glycerin. Thick and sticky. (that was my nickname in high school! ha ha!! just kidding!)) It wasn't easy to put on. Initially, I poured some on my microfiber cloth and tried to rub it into my seat. Well, it like got stuck. Not like glue, but you really had to pull to move the product around. The next swipe, I poured it on my cloth and sort of dotted the product around a larger area. Then rubbed it in to make an even coating. By dotting it around, I wasn't trying to smear a puddle of the stuff, but move smaller dabs of it. That worked much better. After you sort of have it moved to a generally even coating, it is easier to rub the whole area again to get it to be like a film over the whole thing. Then you are supposed to let it sit for up to a day and wipe off the excess.The next day, I was a little nervous that I would go out there and the product would be like sticky paint. It looked shiny-ish like nothing had penetrated at all. I envisioned my rag skipping and dragging over the stuff to remove the excess and I was ready to give my hands and arms a real workout to buff this stuff off. To my happy surprise, I didn't have much of any excess at all! There was a corner or two where I didn't get it spread as thinly, where I could feel my rag catch, but it was only about a square inch at at time. It was no longer sticky. The leather was really nice and shiny and I really still thought it was the leftover product. Maybe it changed to like a greasy/oily residue. But I kept trying to wipe it off as I didn't want it on our clothes. But nothing on my rag. I even ran my hand over it with pretty good pressure to see if my hand was shiny afterwards, but it was not.I am really happy with the way the seats came out. I am hoping that the conditioning treatment will help me keep the seats cleaner now as they are more smooth and dirt will be easier to remove (with a just a damp microfiber or super mild soap.) Next time I might want to do this on a warmer day (it was in the 50s in the shade when I did it) to see if the warmer product would be easier to spread. I see that others have warmed their bottles, but I was into a big entire detailing project with carpet extractions and steaming and everything and just didn't feel like stopping to warm it when I was finally at this step. I did this last because I didn't want to be crawling all over the car to clean window and stuff after I applied it.Sorry for the long review, but I try to tell everyone my whole experience with using the product. My recommendations are: 1. First, clean your stuff first as much as you can. You don't want to seal in dirt, I wasn't insane with this step, just clean it. 2. Possibly warm the bottle in warm water or sun. I didn't do this and it was fine. 3. Dot it around to make it easier to get an even coat. I made mine thin, like a film, not a coating. Sort of like putting lotion on your skin. You don't paint it on, you put a film on. It will still feel sticky if you put your finger on it though. 4. Then wipe the next day. I am sure the absorption rate varies based on how dry your leather is, the warmth in the room, etc. I did not need additional coats. Maybe for something very dry, you may. I wouldn't try a heavy single coat, you are just gonna waste it if you are wiping off goo. If it still isn't nice, try another coat and see if it will absorb. If not you may have to wait a few weeks for it to penetrate more deeply.

Product a little goes a long way.This is the leather jacket they issued to me during the Viet Nam war.It still looks wrinkled, but a lot more supple.
