No, I wouldn't use Apple on a rehab. Blackrocks is great, and most of us use it as the final step, but you need a good moisturizer first. I also use Leather CPR. It's available lots of places, including Bed Bath and Beyond, but is cheaper at Marshalls or Tuesday Morning if they have it.

Ugh no. I will probably not give people as hard a time for painting Yorkies on bags after this.
I can't answer this directly, but this made me remember my first rehab with O Oil. I was applying it to a convertible clutch and just totally over-applied it with the dauber in the cap. What a runny mess! The clutch has a seam at the bottom corners. I put so much on, (lol, it was comical, I was laughing as I realized I overdid it) it seeped through seams to the inside! I remember it staining it, but that was a direct app per se. I will take a critical look at the interior tonight (finishing a late lunch now) or tomorrow. Personally, I would not expect O Oil to seep through from the tanned side to the suede side. But I haven't been doing this that long so I would love to hear more experienced opinions.
I will also look at an Open Market Tote I gave two generous apps of O Oil and see if it may have changed the interior suede.
Got 2 more for todays bath! Its been a good day of thrifting. A red rambler ( not vintage, Chinese made but in very good shape) and a brown Berkeley backpack. I hope the scratches come out. 
Nice! I am sure both with pretty up with a solid conditioning.
If you can stand one more opinion, it appears to me that there could be almost an arc like scratch? indent? on the right side of the bag as we are viewing it in pic 5 . It’s as those several spots are there, but photo graph differently with the subtle angle/changes of the bag/camera from shot to shot. Jmo.
Hi, Pagan! I'm not sure if you posted already but have you received your Samorga insert for the Ace yet? I'm curious how it worked out and looks. TIA!
I found a black Ace on eBay and it looked a little dull and in need of moisture. It had minor wear for scratches. i used Leather CPR and then a coat of Black Rocks. My first time using it and boy, it shined it right up and looks much healthier! I let it sit overnight before buffing with a soft cloth. Amazing stuff!
Yes, I did! I’m away for the weekend, but will try to post pics next week. It fit very well, but it’s a rectangular shape. The bag narrows from a wider base, so it doesn’t completely fill the depth of the bottom. It’s much better, though.
