Good suede protectant?

[willowsmom]

I just received my legacy shoulder tote in plum suede and was thinking about using suede protectant on it. I used Nordstrom's suede protector on my suede fringe bag and it seems to be holding up fine, but wanted to know if anyone here has a particular kind of suede protectant they've used on their bags. Also, any tips or hints on how you keep your suede clean would be greatly appreciated - I really want to try and baby this one and keep it clean!

Here's a recent thread that discusses this:

The two protectants that I see here most often are Apple Guarde and Shining Monkey. I just ordered Apple Guarde for myself yesterday. Hope this helps!

BTW, if you are interested, here's where I ordered mine:

willowsmom - Could you post pics of your new plum bag?
I'd love to see it!

mokoni - thanks for the advice - I'll check it out!
bearonica - I will try to post pics later today! Actually, I really want people's opinions because I'm so torn about it- I adore the bag and the color, but I'm second guessing the suede and wondering if I ought to just get it in leather!

Wilson's Protectant is my favorite!!

I used to use that one, but I got the non-areosol spray and it was hard to tell if it was evenly covered.

I used Shining Monkey now and love it. You can order it off amazon.

I use ugg on my suede bead tote in flint and haven't had any problems. Bag is a year old and looks brand hew

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Bearonica - I finally got around to posting about my new bag (w/pics) - it's in another thread (sorry, I don't know how to attach a link to it!) entitled "my new legacy shoulder bag" or something to that effect!

I use Wilsons too. But I still don't take mine out if it's raining. :shame:
