Since you're using the cleaner, you'll need to use some sort of conditioner/moisturizer after, as two.time mentioned.

So can I just use the Blackrocks after the cleaner?

 

[fuzzymummy]

OK so a cleaner isn't a conditioner. If it was me I'd re-dunk to rinse off the cleaner and whatever dirt it removes, and wait for the CPR to condition it with, then finish with Black Rock.

Thanks, I think I will do that. At least I know I'm following the steps that seem tried and true with all you seasoned rehabbers.

I wouldn't. After a bath, a bag need moisturizing. Blackrocks is more of a wax that seals in the moisture and hides imperfections. I'll use it on new bags but a bag that has been bathed needs something to restore moisture first.

Great haul! Um, that's not a trail bag - it's a small Legacy flap. Someone started calling it a trail bag on ebay and now everyone makes that mistake.

Beenburned made me this sign:

Lol. I just like trail bag better. I still think of mine as a mini stewardess though, since I have both in red.

I'd carry the wee thing more often if the strap was long enough to wear crossbody.

But there is already a trail bag. It looks like this: Mini stewardess is a good name.

That should be some kind of camera bag. I'm just going to have to rename them all I guess!

ROFL! You know I knew that, but I was having a senior moment and that was the first thing that popped into my mind. I figured someone would come to my rescue!!

On the other hand, I have no idea what the other one is called. Help!!

So in the interim, what should I do with the bag? Wait until the cpr comes and redunk it or continue to put this apple cleaner on it to keep it moist and then rewash it? Thanks.

The suede one is an ergo zip. The one with the buckle might be a Chelsea bag #9894.

I don't know if the apple cleaner is moisturizing it at all. I wouldn't worry too much. I've had bags sit without anything and they recovered when I bathed them again.

I got this slim tote a couple weeks ago. So far I have dunked it and applied one coat of Leather CPR. Blackrocks should be here soon. It feels nice, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do the dark areas on the kisslock frame. And will the Blackrocks take care of the stains that remain in a couple other aras? I only dunked it for maybe 15 or 20 minutes, so maybe that wasn't long enough? Suggestions appreciated!

So here it is after one coat of Blackrocks. Just done, so it is darker than when it's dry. I think I need to get a shoe shine brush to buff it out. Also, is orange color still supposed to be coming off on the towels when I rub/buff it? It did that in the water during its bath too. Thanks.

Looks beautiful! It's normal for color to continue to come off onto the towel. I have a brush. It really helps buffing, but you can use a cloth too.

Well, since I'm done buying bags for the month, obvs I need to start buying toys for them now.

Re-dunk about a day before you expect the CPR to arrive. The leather needs to be slightly damp, not wet, when you apply the conditioner.

Pretty colour! Great job. You can't really notice the marks. They add to the character.

I'm still working on mine. It was soooo dry and has a huge ink spot on the inside pocket.
