Hello all,
I have successfully dunked a few bags now with all your amazing help (can't thank you all enough) I haven't dunked a scarf Print with patent leather trim, any rules or issues with the trim?
Just want to be sure before I give it a cleaning. Thank you!

Nope you should be fine! Easy to clean IME.
Thank you! Just double checking... last question, do I use leather conditioner on the patent as well? There is some non patent trim I know i can use it on but wasn't sure the cleaning method for patent. I greatly appreciate your help
Hmm I don't think so. I don't ever put anything on patent myself. Does anybody else?
No, you don't put anything on it. I've heard that if patent gets dull, you can use a tiny bit of vaseline to shine it back up, but if it looks okay, I would leave it alone.
You can use pledge spray polish on patent leather to give it a great shine. It's not greasy or sticky and it lasts. It may have a slight scent at first, but it's not bad and it fades.
Here's a patent leather bag that I recently rehabbed, an Ergo Pleated Framed Satchel. I used Pledge Wipes on the bag and it really brought back the shine nicely.
Ok...she is dry and has lost some colour...bit of a failure on my part...and the places where she was really grimy have gone very yellow looking...tried not to be too hard in cleaning...but second clean might have been too much...but its all a learning curve ...Im not going to do any more to her...quit while Im behind.
Before and after pictures.
Before and after pictures.Conditioning will bring back some of the color.
Much cleaner! Impossible to get every mark off a bag that light though.
You might need more than one coat of conditioner to bring back the color. Wait 24 hrs between coats to allow it to soak in.
Which conditioner do you recommend as Im out of it and have to order online for it...Apple or Leather Therapy or any other?
Leather CPR is my favourite. You can get it at Marshall's for $6.99 I think, or I most recently got it from Bed Bath and Beyond where you can use a coupon and get it for about $10 a bottle ( I think they are $15 and you can buy 2 and use a $10 off $30 coupon).
Sadly we no longer have a Bed Bath amd Beyond in my town...and Im not sure if our New Zealand stores carry it...will try the website and see..otherwise it will have to be fishpond.
