Magic Potion for Old Leather
This product is incredible. It was very easy to use and had a dramatic effect on the appearance of my black leather boots. There was no mess and no special tools required. You simply run it into the leather and let dry (which barely takes any time). In my photo, see the difference between the untreated boot on the left and the treated boot on the right. I will definitely purchase again!

Perfection!
Finally, a leather treatment that performs: no stickiness, residue, and leaves a soft shine! This was easy to apply and buff and has no unpleasant odor. I used it on a pricy red leather mobile phone case and felt confident enough treating the inside cover of the case.

Gets the Job Done.
Works perfect on lizard boots. I get them professionally polished every few months, but this works to restore the luster, even after I decided to cut my lawn and do some digging in my "office boots." I shopped around, and when I purchased it, this was the best deal.

Amazing Product
Love this cleaner and conditioner. I use it on the vachetta of my Louis Vuitton purses and it makes them look so clean and smooth. I will definitely buy this again.

Works great on traveler's notebooks
So far I have used this to clean and shine a Foxy Fix leather traveler's notebook - and I am very happy with the results. It did not darken the leather at all, it cleaned it very well, got the small scuff marks out when I buffed the lotion out, and brought the leather to a beautiful shine and made it quite a bit softer than it was when I first purchased it. I am very pleased with this lotion and will certain purchase again should I run out.

Great stuff for smooth leather maintenance and rejuvenation.
I used this conditioner to help bring my old gun belt back to life. After washing the belt with Fiebings saddle soap, and letting the belt dry overnight, I applied a generous coat of this conditioner to the leather and let it absorb it all in. I wiped off the excess and let it dry. I finished off the leather by applying 2 coats of Fiebings acrylic resolene and polished all brass hardware with Ballistol , the belt looks almost new. It did darken the leather just a little tiny bit but honestly, the belt needed the color rejuvenation. It looked pale and dry before the conditioning. Afterwards it had a healthy, rich finish. The resolene top coat I added was the protective icing on the cake. Im glad I bought this Cadillac boot and shoe conditioner because it's not just for footwear. It will help maintain all smooth leathers.

Amazing! I made the mistake of wearing my wedding ...
Amazing! I made the mistake of wearing my wedding day shoes to my engagement party and spilling champagne on them. When I brought them to the shoe repair place, they said it would be 20 or 30 dollars to fix them. I saw they were going to use this and ordered it myself for way cheaper. They look great! Side note- while in process they looked like they were getting worse. Breathe and be patient!

Great for designer bags... BUT...!
A designer bag is an investment. In my case, it was a black Chloé Hudson Mini Tasseled Fringe bag comprised of calfskin on the body and very very delicate lambskin on the flap with a suede interior and suede fringe and tassels. I bought the Cadillac Boot & Shoe Leather Lotion on the recommendation of lambskin Chanel bag owners. If it’s delicate enough for lambskin, it’s delicate enough for calfskin which is tougher. They say the Chanel SAs also use this in their boutiques. I may have been a little trigger happy when the directions said to "apply liberally." I used too much initially, didn’t know it at first because it seemed like the bag was happily drinking up all the conditioner. Eventually, it left a whitish cast on my bag that I didn’t notice until after it had dried down, despite all the buffing I did and even then, it was left on for a couple of weeks as I didn't use the bag right away. The white cast too noticeable, but it started to bother me in certain lighting. The bag just appeared dulled in some parts. In a panic, thinking I had clogged the leather’s pores which can weaken the leather and trap dirt and oil beneath, I looked for solutions. I wasn’t about to use dish soap or hand soap, bad idea as it can dry out the leather too much and cause it to crack (speaking from experience on a sofa). After researching several leather cleaners, I was overwhelmed by the choices and was about to splurge on Saphir Leather Cleaning Soap (gentler than their saddle soap version and what Hermes uses) from The Hanger Project, but with limited availability to no availability on Amazon and pricey shipping and the extra time it would take to receive the product, I decided to look further. Chamberlain’s Straight Cleaner No. 2 seemed to fit the bill and they even had an article on their site about applying too much leather conditioner on things. Their recommendation was to use a gentle leather cleaner (such as theirs) or as a possible substitute… alcohol. It made me nervous. I had some 70% isopropyl alcohol (the rest is comprised of water) and used that very hesitantly. I dabbed the cotton ball with the tiniest, TINIEST dot of alcohol, even letting some it evaporate before using, and gently in circular motions, cleaned parts of my bag that had the white cast under a lamp so I knew the spots to target, starting with an inconspicuous spot on the body of the bag that was comprised of calfskin first. To my amazement, it worked to remove the excess conditioner! I did not give the alcohol the chance to sit on the bag too long and it’s wet state and evaporate, I would work to use as much as needed then absorb with another clean, dry cotton ball, cleaning in a circular motion. I eventually felt confident enough to try it on the lambskin flap and it brought back the shine to my bag. Not 100% of the excess leather conditioner is gone but most of it is. I’m giving my bag a couple days of a break before I go at it again and next time I apply this Leather Lotion, I will use a very very tiny amount and let it dry. You can always apply more. I didn’t want to use a leather cleaner specifically because 1, some of them looked too harsh or were made for leather that had years and layers of dirt, grime, and polish on them. And 2, some people had issues trying to use the leather soaps too aggressively which lightened the leather or made it look spotty. That would be a nightmare on a black bag. 3, some said using a cleaner caused the leather to then absorb the leather conditioner unevenly, especially if you were spot-cleaning which is what I would’ve done. Also, I did not use this Leather Lotion on any part of the bag where the fringe or suede was, as this is not meant for that! There are different products, shampoos and brushes made just for suede and they must be treated differently. Also, take care not to have the Leather Lotion/leather conditioner go onto stitching of the bag or hardware. A little probably isn’t harmful (I didn’t cover my hardware prior to using since my bag has minimal metal components) but especially on older bags, leather conditioners can degrade stitching and possibly affect the metal plating (you can cover with blue painter’s tape). All in all, I’m pretty happy with the product when used correctly. A lot of it was just user error coming from inexperience. I hope this helps for those of you who may have applied too much Leather Lotion or leather conditioner. Again I used very very little alcohol, we all know how drying it can be on our own skin and always test on a small area like the bottom of the bag. Also note, where I used a little too much of the alcohol, a bit of dye came off but this happened while applying the Leather Lotion too so just be aware of that and be gentle!

It Works!!
I didn't believe the hype, but this product is worth it!! If you are going to use the leather lotion to clean and hydrate leather, it will take you a longer time to clean. I used this on all of my luxury bags (LV, Chanel, Chloe...), and have had great results so far! The leathers do get more supple with the leather lotion, but so far, I haven't found that to be a problem. It has removed scuff marks from lambskin, and rehydrated older bags beautifully!!

Worked wonderfully!
Works shockingly well. Used on untreated vegetable tanned leather. Evened out the striations to the darker color in the leather, but did not result in any darkening beyond what was already in the leather. I would say it evened out the color but did not darken it. Product is a little more watery than a lotion, but can be applied with a microfiber towel (may drip a little), and applies easily, without too much liquid being used (probably 1/3 of a bottle on ~8 sq ft of surface) Dries to a matte finish, so some type of neutral polish may be needed depending on the look you're going for. I have not tested it if it helps at all with water resistance.
