After her last Black Rocks application, I'm ready to call Little Miss Pigpen complete.

I did some spot treating with OxyGel and dunked her using Dawn Power Clean. Two applications of Leather CPR, one application of Cadillac Boot and Shoe Care, and finished off with two applications of Black Rocks. Hardware polished with Wright's and Aleene's Fabric Fusion used to reattach a split hang tag.
The brown is a great warm and rich shade - perfect for autumn. Gotta say...she cleans up good!
I'm giving this bag to my mom. This will be the classy older aunt for the Kristin hobo I bought my mom for her birthday earlier this year.

Great transformation, your mom is going to love it.
Progress pic of my Watermelon Tote. One application of Leather Therapy Restorer. Finishing up drying, but she's standing up all on her own now. This is, by far, the thickest leather on any of my vintage bags - she's guzzling up the conditioner. I may use some emu oil on her.
She does have some streaky discoloration on the front - nothing major. Hoping Black Rocks will help with that. If not, I don't think I'll do anything additional to address it. She's 35 years old - and she should be proud of her age. I like that she's has some vintage chic to her look.

She looks fabulous, what a difference a bath and some TLC can make. I love the station bag.
Just want to get back on my grandstand for a moment and mention the importance of touchin up the strap edges!

Major improvements, nice work!

Lol...yeah, I know.
I'm going to put some Edge Kote on the strap edges - so she's 99.9% done! 
For those that may not have used it before, I wanted to share a pic of my Station Bag strap post-Edge Kote. I bought a bottle in neutral and this stuff is gonna last a while!
I applied with an artist sponge brush. Doesn't take much at all and dries with a shine to it. I really like it! I'll be using it to seal the paint touch up I did on the underside of my Watermelon Tote handle as well. This stuff is way lower effort than the paint/conditioner mix. Thumbs up recommendation from this rehabber!

Awesome, awesome job! How is the Cadillac Boot and Shoe Care different from Leather CPR and Black Rocks, basically what was your purpose for inserting it in there?
