Vaseline
Been using it forever,....on my real leather,.....and when I had rice,.....I'd use it on the pleather.
I still ain't found anything that comes even close to a good ole can of cheap **** vasaline on my tour pak,...bags,....coats ,...etc,.......I had people tell me it was a petroleum product,...and it would destroy the leather.............pfffftt,.........I used it on my baseball glove when I was a kid,...and IT's Still Around!
Smear the stuff all over my bags in the hot sun,...it kinda melts,....then pass it all over with my hand,...then wipe excess off with a towel. friggin unbelievable shine!! Lasts a long time too.

RE: Vaseline
I've always used "Bag Balm" because it's not oil based.. Wouldn't the oil based product eventually desolve the leather cells from the inside out?

RE: Vaseline
Most leather these days are covered in a vinyl film. Also a petroleum based product. Doubt vaseline will hurt it althrough I'd worry about the stiching.
