I placed my speedy by the window but not directly to the sunlight (coz I don't want it to patina too fast, just oxidize), for 5 days and used the patina champ method. Now doing it on my Favorite MM strap.😊
I was wondering if you noticed any spotting or dullness on the brass hardware, and if it's been out in the rain since you sprayed with Wilson's. Will you update us?

Hi,
I wrapped the hardware in plastic before spraying. I was wondering the same, but decided to go safe route and cover the hardware.
And no, the speedy hasn't been out in the rain since I sprayed it. But it does seem to keep the dirt away (although I do baby the bag when I carry it).
I follow patina champ method on my new pochette métis. I was caught in the rain, and the water mark totally disappear when it's dry.. I am so happy.. Thank you so much for sharing this method.. 
No more sun tanning, if you see that your vachetta is dirty you can use the wipe method again.
Ok guys, I also decided to join many of you who successfully followed this method. So we'll see... My Speedy is drying now. I hope I didn't over do it (I tend to always overdo things). I wiped it several times. Only because I stupidly hung some cheap red fur ball charm on my speedy and she's been sitting with it at home for about a week. Then I was inspecting it a few days ago and noticed some pinkish tint on the underside of handles (especially the one where the puff charm was hanging and touching). Arghhhh... no words to describe my stupidity...
That's why I had to wipe down several times to try and remove the pinkish red tint a bit better.
I'm quite surprised and pleased. This method isn't that scary as I thought. The vachetta seems to lighten up back to normal a few seconds after wiping it (if you sit and stare at it). So that gave me guts to wipe several times Will buff tomorrow and hopefully it'll be great. Fingers crossed!
I used a clean sock and had some pink on it at the end. So looks like this method does lift dirt pretty well (as you can see from the photos).
