Greased used leather which has been kept greased with tallow or neatsfoot oil, or has developed a white deposit on the surface indicative of tallow dressing, but which shows no surface cracking or noticeable Nox Vidmate VLC weakness. This leather should first be well washed with warm (not hot) water and soap, with gentle brushing and repeated rinsing in clear water. Washing will remove salts, tallow, neatsfoot oil compounds, and products of decomposition. The leather should then be dried slowly, without heat. When dry a heavy coating of Pecard Leather Dressing should be applied, and allowed to soak in over several days. A second or third coating may be necessary to ensure the leather is saturated. The excess can then be removed and the surface buffed with a soft cloth. Subsequent maintenance should be a light coating of dressing every six months except as noted above for boots or other items subject to repeated wetting or hot dusty conditions.hi girls,
what do you think is the best leather conditioner?

Re: Bick. I have a bottle of Bick but find it too thin & runny. Nothing really wrong with it, I just don't find as moisturizing as Apple & don't care for its consistency.
Sof Sole Mink Oil for Conditioning and Waterproofing Leather, 3.5-Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003EMABT6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7oTZDb740RHQD
I used this on my brown WP Standard Midland Backpack. The photo of the bag with the tag is before the Mink oil and the one without the tag is after Mink oil. I bought two tins and they arrived perfectly fine. The smell of it is actually lovely. It darkened my bag but only while I was applying it. Maybe it just depends on the leather you’re applying it to. My bag is 100% full grain and the Mink oil DID soften the leather already. I have yet to test it in the rain cause I JUST got the bag yesterday, but I splashed it with some water after applying mink oil everywhere and the water just beaded on top of my bag. It didn’t soak into the leather which is great. I think the droplets only beaded and didn’t roll off only cause I didn’t splash it with so much water; in light rain your bag will definitely be protected though and it’ll bead AND fall right off! Also the tins are actually pretty big. If you have like 3-4 bags I think one tin will last you awhile.
