I use leather balsam renapurbought a tub from a country fair bout 10yrs ago and not even halfway down it!!I use it on leathersbootsetc!
Am I the only one that doesn't do anything with my leathers. But on the other hand anything I say has to be remembered in he context of ---- 1,500 miles per year in the dry !
Thanks for the responses chaps, Nikwax and Renapur seem to be pretty widely recommended, I did a quick google about using Vasalene which suggested it could be problematical by stopping the leather from breathing properly. You'll be pleased to know I ignored all your advice and have purchased some Skidmores Leather Cream after reading this article and finding positive reviews of the stuff online, I'll let you know what I think once it arrives.Quote from: fazersharp on 08 June 2016, 11:13:00 pmAm I the only one that doesn't do anything with my leathers.
