Cadillac Boot and Shoe Leather Lotion 8 Ounces - Cleans, Conditions, Protects, and Polishes Leather Footwear and Accessories

If you have deck / boat shoes, or waterproof boots that are getting older, this stuff is worth its weight in gold.

The best vachetta cleaner and conditioner Ive used. It does not change the color of the vachetta.

I used this Cadillac Boot and Shoe Leather Conditioner and Cleaner way back when I lived in the Detroit area. Cadillac shoe products is based in Detroit and I used when I lived there, but kind of forgot about it until I saw it on Amazon. It was like meeting an old friend. I wanted a lotion that could help me renew and restore the leather on a 100+ year old Mission style rocker. The rocker is made from solid oak with a leather seat and some leather on the back. There is a leather binding nailed to the back and around the seat attached with decorative brass nails. Its a very comfortable rocker and no one makes furniture of this quality anymore. This rocker was one of my dads pride and joys. Unfortunately, it spent many years in a garage up in Michigan before we could get down to Texas, and then a couple of years in storage here in Houston. When we were ready to bring it into the house, I first cleaned and restored the finish on the wood. Next I needed something to bring back the leather and Cadillacs lotion did the work superbly. I put on several coats, working the lotion on the binding around the brass nails and in some tight areas around the seat with a soft tooth brush, letting the leather absorb it. After it seemed to absorb all it could, I buffed the leather out. I am more than pleased with how the leather (and the whole chair) turned out. The seat is smooth and pliable and binding looks as if its been diligently cared for for the past 100 years. I left the nails alone. They have a nice patina on them and I am happy with the way they look. So, does the chair look like new? No, its over 100 years old and very well used. It is very presentable, though. It does look well loved, and that is what I wanted to accomplish. Its had a lot of use and neglect to overcome, but now it is a prize piece in our office. It reminds me so much of my dad. Its a wonderful, comfortable rocker to sit in and read a book. Its well on the way to last for another 100 years.

FOR TAKING CARE OF MY LEATHER ITEMS

Really like this product. No overwhelming smells and conditions well

Gave this to my daughter

good.

DO NOT BUY this cleaner. THIS IS A DUPE. BUY IT IN-STORE. Product on the right is the AMAZON ONE - it is nothing but watery !! i used it on the Gucci too ! the left i picked up in store. thicker and legitimate.

My boots are 3 months old. They came with a light brown color. And they got lighter after snow/rain. Got this wax and applied a little bit on an old sock and rubbed the boot with it... This wax does wonders. Dont over do it. A little bit is good enough.

Best on work boots, etc.
