I think the problem might be that the Apple Guard is in a aerosol can and maybe that is why it cannot be shipped. On the product list it says "DUE TO SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS, GARDE CAN NOT BE SHIPPED INTERNATIONALLY!"

Maybe you can find another company that produces something similar but it comes in a regular bottle, or pump spray dispenser.

Does LMB (Lovinmybags.com) have something comparable that you could use?

I think you can use Apple Garde Spray on your bag as you describe it, but it's always a good idea to test on your mirror or a hidden piece of leather.

With Apple Garde be sure to follow the distance and duration instructions to avoid over saturation in any spots. Definitely do it outside too b/c the fumes are toxic and very strong.

I've always used AG on my BBags - the conditioner and the spray. What I used to do was to use a soft towel then put the conditioner on the it and then spread it on the bag. I realized that before the conditioner even touched the leather, some of it were absorb by the towel and as soon as I smooth it on the leather, it also gets absorbed by the towel. I also had the problem of conditioning around the hardware and into the nooks and crannies of the bag.

So today, I went to the art store and bought two sizes of paint brush (with real hair and not the synthetic ones) and used that instead to apply the conditioner!

It's perfect! None of the conditioner was absorbed by the brush and it was very easy to apply unto the bag - I easily go around the hardware and reach all the nooks & crannies of the bag. Best part is I don't messy up my hands! I just paint a light coat on the bag, let it dry then paint again and dry. After that I give it a light buff to get a little shine and it's perfect!

Don't know why I've only thought of this now but it definitely makes things a LOT easier and will be definitely sticking to this routine!

I have just ordered and received my apple care and repellent spray ... is there a thread with step-by-step instructions around here ? i can't seem to search for it (by the way, where is the thread search function?) thankyou and sorry if this has already been discussed, i just really need to be directed to the correct path ! just don't want to mess up !!

The stickies have a lot on Apple:
Moisturizing Your Balenciaga
Protecting Your Balenciaga

They're very long, but it is helpful to flip through them when you have the time. I use the Apple line as well and here's what I know:

There are instructions on how to apply each product on the bottle itself. It doesn't matter which one you use first. Some people moisturize then spray. Others spray then moisturize. Me, I sprayed then moisturized. I stood about 2 feet away from my Bbag and sprayed at arm's length. It gets really fume-y so you may want to do this outside. Let the coat dry before you spray again. As for moisturizing, just put a bit on a clean towel or tshirt and spread the lotion over the bag. Don't put too much as it'll form a greyish film. Also remember to buff afterwards. Hope this helps. When the search comes back on, do a search for this in the sticky threads I linked above.

For future reference, please browse around the ref threads before starting a new thread. Chances are, someone's had the same question so you'll find answers here.
