Awesome! Thanks! I have two Chanel patent flaps so this will be very helpful. Hopefully I'll never have to use these tips, but it's good to have the information on hand.

You can also clean patent leather with NON-acetone nail polish remover. Great for removing scuffs.

The vinegar tip will also work for non-patent but finished leather bags Just wipe the bag down with a clean cloth, take a bowl of hot water, drop a bit of vinegar in, take a clean cloth, dip it into the solution and then wipe the bag down again. Wipe dry then buff. I found the tip on LMB and have used it when needed - it works really well Just be sure not to do this on any type of unfinished leather as it may leave permanent marks.
