How to Restore / Condition Leather
Step 1
Make sure the leather is clean. You don’t want to work a conditioning product into dirty leather as this can push the dirt further into the pores of the leather.

Step 2
Once the leather is clean, massage a Leather Oil or Leather Conditioner product into the leather. Typically, oils should only be used sporadically, when leather is really worn. Leather Conditioner can be used more frequently. Both products can have a tendency to darken leather, but the oil will more so, which is another good reason to use it less frequently.

Step 3
Allow the oil and/or conditioner to fully soak into the leather, buffing the conditioned leather with a clean, dry rag or horsehair brush to remove any conditioner that is not soaking in.

How to Protect Leather
Step 1
After the leather has been oiled / conditioned, it’s a good idea to add a Leather Wax or a Boot Wax to it to help repel moisture and to keep grime from getting into the fibers of the leather. Use a dauber or a cloth, to pick up some of the wax and transfer it onto the leather, thinning it out as much as possible as you go. The idea is to create as thin of a layer as possible.

Step 2
Allow the leather to soak up the wax.

Step 3
Use a horsehair brush to buff the leather until it develops a leather.

Step 4
Enjoy your freshly cleaned, conditioned, and protected leather.
