Default Question about Doc Baileys
Ive got a question for anyone using Doc Baileys on their leather stuff. I had been reading about it here and got some to use on my saddlebags. It looks like it darkens the leather real well. My question is, do you use anything else after that or just buff it out and let 'er go? I just was not sure if they needed further protcetion of if the Doc's was enough.
Thanks in advance!!

I've used it on bags, coats, boots and gloves and so far, it's been
as you put it, buff it and let it go.
Stuff works great and a little bit goes a long way.

Thanks for the replies. I just didnt know if anything else needed to be used beyond that or not, trying to keep 'em looking good. Just installed bag supports from Kamco last night, they look great.

Just to update, I went with the Doc Baileys and Im very pleased. Deep black and not real shiny....just a very good product. Just "FYI", I ended up doing mine twice, but its very little effort and great results!

Great to hear you guys like it so well. Tried the stuff a few years ago and liked it so much I started selling it on my website. Hope you guys bought it from ValueTeck. The best part about it is that it really does waterproof.
