Default Leather care

Just wondering if anyone out there uses Doc Baileys leather care products. I just got a bottle of the leather black and used it on my seat. The seat looks new and it's supose to waterproof it. I'll have to wait and see how it holds up. I have a white leather sofa in my recroom and I'm thinking of trying the leather white on it. Has anyone here used any of these products and how do you rate them?

Default RE: Leather care

I used the black to dye a pair of brown boots. They look like they came originally in black. Seat? I guess. However, I'd be afraid it would come off on my pants. I use it on my work shoes. Everynight before I go to work, I wipe the shoes off with Pledge. A little black comes off everytime.

I use doc baileys. One thing is that it does not make the leather "water proof" it helps with making it water resistant. I do recommend that you use a good shoe brush and buff it down, it will have some residue if not buffed. Overall I do like it and it has made my old leather look like new. Works great on my black work shoes as well. So far, So good.

I used it on a FB seat that had some ware showing on it. It made the seat look like bran new. Never had any residue come off on my pants. Use it on my duty boots and belts. Great stuff IMO! Bryan
