Sorry if this has been asked already. Is the Cadillac leather lotion good for both caviar and lambskin? Is it safe for all colors? TIA

Did you buff your handbag after allowing some time for the conditioner to dry?
I only ask this as I am curious, too, as to how the consignor immediately knew you had "treated" the handbag?
I have heard many opinions on shining monkey, appleguard, meltonian, etc... So many choices for leather protectors! Ladies, what do you think is the best for:
Reissue leather (distressed lambskin)?
Lambskin leather (non distressed)?
Caviar?
Calfskin leather (vintage ligne, cambon)?
How bout patent? I know it is lower maintenance than the leathers above, but do you put anything to maintain the gloss so the plastic sheen doesn't dull over time?
I baby my Chanel bags to death and I want to make them last longer than my desire for a new bag. Hehe.
Hi! I’m brand new on here but know that this is where the most knowledgeable bag people are. I have an older Chanel doctors bag and it looked like it was drying out plus there were a lot of scratches on it. A friend who also has many high end leather bags recommended a product so I used that. It’s been 6 days and my bag still looks splotchy. I applied it with a rag and it’s possible I used too much? After I did it, the entire bag was a little darker but it had just had the product on it. I went out of town and left it at home but when I came back, some areas are back to the normal brown but some are still darker. I’m so scared that I ruined it. I used the same product on my balenciaga bags with no problems and they look amazing . Please help! Here are pics both with and without flash. I couldn’t start a thread yet so I hope this is where I need to be posting this. If not, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Just came from chanel store and they said this is what they use[emoji3]
Thanks for sharing! Is there any difference between the two?
The first one says for boots and shoes . So my friend showed me the 2nd one thats is the same brand but for bags couches etc.
+1 on the first picture.
Every time I use to stain my light Chanel bags they would always clean it with that product. So I bought it too and if works great.
I actually bought the bullet and purchased from ebay.com, the postage was about £11 but I've just used it on a vintage lambskin and it looks divine now.
Handbag Spa based in the UK has a “Just Hydrate” and a “3 in 1” Everyday that they recommend for Chanel bags. I really like the Just hydrate.
My Saks SA said Meltonian neutral cream polish is good. I don’t like it for the lambskin though. Prefer the Handbag spa products. Hope that helps.
Hi! Please clarify, which one did Chanel recommend, because I just ordered the one in the second photo...the creme colored bottle. Thank you!
