Box Calf / Veau Box through the years #boxcalfnerds

All of these box bags are so special and so tempting. Thanks to all for sharing.

Hi both, may I ask you have also tried Docride's recommended Blackrock + Obeneuf treatment? If you have, do you mind sharing which way is better?

It's because your way sounds easier to handle and yet the result looks amazing!

I find saphir easier, I tried the B&O method earlier prior to renovateur, different effects. Equally gorgeous shine. I have a lot of bags to get through every three months so saphir is a simpler process for me.

Hi Jadeite, how much Saphir do you apply to each bag? You would wait a few minutes and then wipe off the excess? Thanks.

Very little. A small dab. Less is more.

Thank you, Jadeite!

Thanks Jadeite and Duna!
I guess I ll also give Saphir a try, at times I find B&O method a little tricky and made the bags sticky [emoji16][emoji5]️

The directions say 3 min to dry. You only put on a very thin coat. I put it on a soft cloth and apply it that way. Then after it dries, I buff with clean dry soft cloth. I found it online here:

Thank you very much for the website and additional info, gracekelly. I will order a jar and practice on a less expensive bag to get a feel for it. Really appreciate your and others' expertise.

Has anyone ever tried the Saphir Crème Surfine or the Medaille D'Or shea butter neutral polish? I have both but haven't tried them because they have beeswax, but they're supposed to give a great shine. Just curious....I ordered the Saphir Renovateur (thank you, Jadeite, Duna, and Grace Kelly!) but I wondered if one of these neutral polishes after the renovateur might give a glossy shine? A bit scared to try, since they have wax, solvents, etc. What do you think?
