Aussie Leather Conditioner (14 oz) - Contains Beeswax to Withstand Hot Conditions - Preserve, Moisturize, Strengthen, Waterproof All Leathercraft, Car, Couch, Furniture, Purses, Boot, Shoe

I ordered this leather conditioner per the recommendation of many leatherworkers. Thanks, LeatherWorker.net forum, for all the helpful pointers. Anyway, this conditioner is really great for moisturizing leather and providing a smooth finish when thoroughly buffed. It will, like hot water on spinach, darken the leather it's applied to. From what I've been told, this is to be expected. In fact, if you want to enhance the darkening effect, apply a heat treatment when conditioning with a hair dryer. The waterproofing of this conditioner is not going to be as good as an acrylic finish like Resolene. But, a relatively good water resistence can be acheived with this if you apply more than one coat. I tried out this conditioner on a few things as of this review: a scrap of Eco Gel-died veg-tanned leather, a raw veg scrap, and the toes of my badly sun-bleached work boots. I have included pictures of the results of both treatments. The died piece barely showed any visible difference in terms of darkening. It did buff to a nice soft shine. My poor steel-toed boots got left out in the sun too long so I figured that there was no harm in applying this conditioner. The paste darkened the leather significantly, past the point of restoring the original color to turning it to a darker, richer hue. The veg tanned leather showed significant darkening when I applied the conditioner, let it soak, and then buffed it. This conditioner comes in a screwtop plastic container as a vaseline-colored paste. It has the consistency of... well jeeze... banana paste I guess (which will do as a replacement for this in a pinch). It does not contain any neatsfoot oil, which I've heard gives leather conditioners a distinctive bacon smell. Rather, this paste smells like a sweeter vaseline, and any odor is gone once the applied surface is buffed. Overall, I definitely recommend this conditioner as it does its prescribed job really well! Just be aware that it's not meant to be a perfect water sealant and that it will darken lighter leathers.

So, I own enough leather. Be it boots, vests, motorcycle saddle bags/seats. This stuff is easy to apply, doesn't smell bad, and it conditions. It leaves leather soft and shiney. It is cheap for how much you get. (The boot company Indy Ridge recommends this brand for their boots, that's how I heard of this great conditioner) One small gripe - it doesn't penetrate cold leather well. I was out conditioning a leather motorcycle seat in 30f/0c and it just kind of sat on the surface. Not the products fault, just more of a limitation of doing leather conditioning during the winter. Once it warmed up and the pores of the leather opened the seat loved the new oils coming in and shined up as expected.

I used this on my waxed leather couch and loveseat and the results were great, though it really changed the look. That could be a drawback for some people, though I was fine with it. The furniture I used it on was not quite two years old and doesn't get a lot of use, so I don't think the look had changed much since I purchased it. I still figured it was time to do some maintenance to make sure the leather remained properly conditioned. I first did a color test on the back of a cushion and liked the result. I applied liberal amounts of this product to all the leather and not just the exposed areas. I made sure it was thoroughly and evenly applied. The waxed leather sucked up the paste rather quickly and there was no need to buff off any excess. I was hoping it could be buffed to a bit of shine because of the beeswax, but it left a dull finish that looks good. Maybe a second application would produce a bit of a shine, but it was a lot of work to do this application. I didn't time how long it took to be absorbed by my furniture since I was busy after applying it and I didn't sit on that furniture until the following morning. My leather had a different feel to it, but there was no residue remaining. Results may vary depending on how your leather was treated. I included a photo of before and after. The treated loveseat is darker with a more consistent color.

I’ve tried about all of the leather softening/moisturizing products out there. I normally steer away from any products with any petroleum based ingredients. This stuff (that has petroleum something or other in it) works pretty good, seems to penetrate well although the smell isn’t the best thing about it. I have to say i don’t care for it. If t is a chemical man made ingredient sort of smell, not a beeswax or pleasant smell. Id have to say i probably prefer obenauf’s all natural leather conditioner. There is no smell with obenauf’s although obenauf’s costs a bit more and comes in a much smaller container. The container on this fiebings stuff i huge. I got it because i trust fiebings and their knowledge and experience when it comes to leather products. Their pro oil dye is bar none. No others to compare to its excellence. Also this stuff is really goopy.. almost like the consistency of thick mayonnaise, which i like since i prefer to use my hands to work it in. Your heat helps it penetrate and work it in. (Wear latex gloves) .. get some i think you’ll be pleased, just ignore the odor. Also try onenaufs..

I do custom leatherwork, and repair on my ranch and this stuff is amazing to bring back old dried out leather that’s needin repairs. It moisturizes the leather and gives it a nice shine, as long as the leather ain’t too far gone. I’ve been amazed at how well it works on old saddles that have been out of use and stored in the tack room too long. If’n y’all ain’t sure, just buy it and use it, y’all won’t be sorry.

I went to see an auto upholsterer to have my upper rear leather seats redone as they had dried out and split at the stitching. He recommended I treat the rest of the leather with this product, heavily, and let it sit for 24 hours before buffing out as the leather was very dry. I used a lot of product, probably 1/3 of the tub. After buffing out, my seats are darker, like they used to be, not greasy at all, and amazingly soft! This is a 20 year old show car. I had used other 'name brand' products with no luck. This is what you need to purchase, I have 3 years worth for a great price!
