I am not sure which one to buy, but I am going to try Cadillac cream leather protector as I watched scratches disappear on Chanel maxi lambskin bag in the Chanel boutique demonstrated by a SA.

I was at the Chanel boutique today in Nordstrom in Nashville and the SA took out a bottle of a cream called Cadillac and she showed me on a black maxi lambskin how the scratches came out like magic. I was impressed!
:smile1:

Hi marycalia, do you know if the leather cleaner works on other colors?? Because the SA told me a week ago when I bought my gray one that the cleaner they use ONLY works on black lamb skin that it would not be good on mine :((( TIA FOR YOUR HELP!!

Hi nat74! I use the Meltonian leather cleaner and conditioner to pretreat my lambskin bags before use. I believe it waterproofs it as well, although it's not something I'd like to test on.

Hi bluekit, have you use the meltonian cleaner to pretreat light color like gray lambskin bags???.. I just bought mine and I asked another very nice TPFr and she told me to find out about Meltonian, could your share your ideas with me please?? ;) thank so much for any advice and help you can provide!! TIA

i used meltonian waterproof and stain spray (in a blue can). i sprayed it a few times before using it. no point in spraying it after.

Hi gymangel812, may I ask if you know that I could use the meltonian in my new light gray lambskin bag? I would really appreciate your help!! TIA!!

I just use baby wipes on black caviar jumbo to clean and then reapply Cadillac lotion to condition and protect.
Looks beautiful, like the day I bought it. Would not change the way of my cleaning/conditioning.
:p

Hi Skandia, would you know if Cadillac lotion will work on my light gray lambskin??? TIA!!!

Thanks for the reply, so should i use it on my new black caviar GST before i start using the bag ?

I am thinking along the line of a protection for the bag (like how i use Apple Garge for my new LV bags before I even start to use them).

Is this the same way I should use Meltonian?:smile1:

Turquoisebee, in what LV's Do you use Apple Garge??? Do you use it in vachetta?? TIA!!

I've always used Luvinmybags products on Chanel.

Over on the Hermes forum, Docride recommends Black Rocks cleaner/conditioner. I used it on my DH's really beat up black briefcase. By beat up -- it is supposed to be black, a smooth leather and both front and back were rubbed in some spots to light grey. With one application the color looked more like it should -- becoming darker almost presentable again. That was last week and I need to repeat application.

I then applied it to a grey box leather kelly, which is similar to lambskin only I suspect box scratches easier. The purse is preloved and is great shape but I wanted to condition to prevent dryness. Nice result, no complaints. I've ordered Obernauf's weatherproofing for the box should we ever be caught in the rain, the box won't blister (and be ruined).

Back to LVMB products, go to their website and any questions call Barbara. I think they give a discount to tpf members. I can say I have used their products over the years and have been pleased with the exception of Shine which I thought did nothing. I will add that since the line has been reformulated. LVMG are lotions and creams so there is no temporary darkening, waiting and praying for it to dry okay. The cream protectant prevents any sort of staining and I can truly attest to that claim. Printing ink rubbed off from a SA's business card onto the white caviar at the back pocket. A little moisture and some rubbing with a tissue and it came off.

HTH

Hi Jmen, by any chance..do you own any lambskin Chanel bag?? Have you done any pretreatment to it?? I know you said you have used LVMB on your Chanel's but I was wondering if you have you used any other products? Like meltonian etc??? TIA for answering!!!

^jmen, thanks for the very detailed review on the LMB products. I've looked into their website several times before but always found it a bit overwhelming as to the products I need to purchase to clean/treat lamb bags.

I agree!!! I did it long time ago for a LV and I feel the same.. :)

I would use the cream protector to prevent staining and then you can simply use a baby wipe to wipe it down. Then reapply the cream protectant. I do this for all the C purses as soon as I get them and did so with the pale pink/lavendar hand painted reissue from '08.

Hi Jmen, here I am bothering you again.. I am a little confused :( sorry what cream protector? And again do you know or think that this will this work on my light grey lambskin??? Thank you thank you!!!!

I was told to use Cadillac conditioner. My girlfriend has been using it on her Chanel bags and loves it. She only wears lambskin Chanel everywhere and she has no scratches or issues. No discoloration either. I was also told to use it at Nordstroms Chanel boutique, and NM boutique.

:) Nikka

Hi Nikka, could you tell me if any of the lambskins you have used the Cadillac are light colors like light gray??? Tia!!!!

What were the results? Overall, were you satisfied with the Meltonian All-Purpose Cleaner & Conditioner? I'm curious because I just purchased a Dk. Brown Quilted Lambskin M/L Flap and I would like to find a product that will condition it without incident. Thanks!

Hi cokoneenee, I would like to know what happened finally?? I just purchased my light gray lambskin and I am looking for something to pre-treat!!! TIA for the help!
