I use Apple Brand leather proector on all my LV bags. I reapply every 2 to 3 months. It doesn't affect the patina process but it does protect from water or liquid spots.
Coffee, Vachetta, perfectly even Vachetta Patina and why Apple Garde is a must, not an option!

I’ve been considering doing this as I want a mono NF but freaked that the straps look almost black after years of use. I may get it and spray then get the leather replaced every few years. What do you think?

If the straps look black after years of use it means the person used the bag constantly and took it in the rain. I have preowned bags that are over 15 years old with light even patina. If you are really worried you can order a my world tour neverfull and the trim is black.
Ah were so scared doing it? I just got my neverfull mm and don’t know wether to do it now or wait until it breaks in a bit. I haven’t seen too many bad stories.another newbie question
do you reapply your Apple Guard? I treated my PM with it right after I brought it home, but I am not sure whether this needs to be reapplied and, if yes, how often?
Have you really had it in the rain or anything and it’s made a difference? I just got my LV neverfull and I am so scared to use it but I also want to protect it
I have been using Lovin My Bags products for years and prefer this over Apple Garde.
I spray Apple Garde on my brand new vachetta before I use anything at all. Here is my azur Noe BB after 2 years of use (only sprayed once). When I sold this a couple months ago, the buyer told me she was impressed and thought it looked brand new!
Sprayed my monogram Noe BB in February and have not used it outside my home since

I have been using it since before the Purseforum existed. Before tPF there was MyPoupette, an authentication, reference website for LV .... in 2004, they recommended Applegard. I've been using ever since. I use the lotion conditioner, not the spray. I use a very small amount.
I used Kiwi spray for the first time on my new speedy b, i was very nervous but am very happy with how it turned out! 
I purchased the PA back in December but have not taken it out the house yet. I obviously want to protect the strap and the little tab on it. I see everyone saying to use Applegard but the SA at LV told me not to use it. She said that it could actually cause cracking on the vachetta. Has anyone heard this before or did I just get a bad SA? Does anyone no treat their vachetta?
I think the recommendation by LV is to leave it alone. However, I had not heard it could cause cracking. I use it and have not had any issues.
