Obenaufs 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

I love this stuff. It really softens the leather. There is not much in the way of shine if that is your preference. It gives good waterproofing. I have used it on a few leather briefcases, camera bags, camera straps and several pairs of shoes. it will darken the leather. Test on a spot first. Wonderful smell, and your hands feel great when you are done too. Great stuff.

I like the product but it is hard to use without heating to melt the heavy paste. Also the paste does not dissolve into the boot threads very easily. I am sure it darkens the leather and waterproofs the boots. All in all it is a good product to protect your expensive boots from the elements of outdoors.

This product works very well have used it on my pair of whites smoke jumper boots since they were new and there boot stings are top notch aswell.

Designed to keep wild fire fighters boots clean and leather healthy in an environment of dirt, mud, water and ash, this leather preservative is something I use on every leather shoe I own that is not a dress shoe. It will restore old boots and shoes if they are nt too far gone. I know people who use it on saddles, leather furniture, etc. It penetrates the leather and will likely darken it, so be prepared for that, but it keep leather nice for much longer with much less fuss than anything else Ive ever used. Best way to apply is to rub in with finger tips. Heat of hands softens it and helps it to penetrate. If you dont mind the color change and want the best outdoor protection for shoes and boots its worth a try.

Used this on a dry and wrinkled holster. All the wrinkles and dryness disappeared. Used 2 coats rubbed in very well 10 minutes apart after warming holster on heater vent for 10 minutes. Very happy with this product.

My go to leather conditioner for a decade now. Incredible stuff, smells great, and, when used in moderation, will preserve your leather for a long long time.

work great on my leather work boot

I had several older purses I was selling & they needed some serious TLC. I applied this & was truly flabbergasted by the results-they looked INCREDIBLE! By far, this is the best leather conditioner I have ever used! As a reseller who often has to “rehab” leather goods, this stuff has a permanent place in my business! As you can see in my photo, the before & after on this pair of Ariat boots was impressive. Don’t hesitate to purchase this, your leather jacket, boots, couch, etc etc will thank you!

Overall, I am very happy with the product as I had the right expectations going into trying it. Recommended for dark brown or black leather ONLY. Be forewarned that, while this product performs as expected, it ABSOLUTELY WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DARKEN medium brown (i.e. the majority of men’s and women’s boots on the market) or lighter leather. Also note that is not a good option for very light leathers such as white or gray, nor any colors (red, blue, etc) other than dark brown or black in my opinion. It will lighten -somewhat- over time from its darkest during application, however in my experience the original medium brown leather will NEVER come close to the original color ever again. Again, best for dark brown or black leather only. This is not a problem if you are open to, or otherwise perfectly happy with, a change to a much darker brown finish. If you can accept that, then it is an very good product. After application, 48-hours of drying, and then light buffing with a quality horse hair brush it leaves a satin finish that causes water to bead nicely. That said, I would not call it “waterproof”. I would not even call it “water resistant” unless it were applied in more than one coat and regular maintenance coats, perhaps not even then. This is more of a leather conditioner. Not good for suede or nubuck leathers. Fine for dark standard leather or glossy buffed leather (glossier shiny finishes will likely require vigorous buffing with an electric buffing wheel after application of this product to achieve again).

It shipped with the lid actually open, but that’s the good thing with these products I guess? Get a horse hair brush and buff. It works okay and requires a monthly application.
