I did a search on this topic, but wasn't able to quite get a feel of it, so I decided to create a new thread and ask you all about your experience.
Does anybody spray a leather protectant (Apple Guard, Shining Monkey, Kiwi, Wilson, etc...) not only on the Vachetta leather, but also on the Vernis leather? I have read that some people do, but others discourage it. I read once that using a particular kind of water repellent spray (not available in the US) actually wrinkled the Vernis leather. I have been using Kiwi water repellent spray for about 8 years, and it works wonderfully on Vachetta leather, but I remember it made the Vernis leather look not so shiny, so I just wiped it off (it was very easy to wipe it off BTW and never damaged the Vernis leather). I am under the impression that, not all the leather protectant is appropriate for Vernis leather, but some are actually good and indeed protect it. If that is correct, which ones are good and which ones are bad?
If anybody has any experience with leather protectant on Vernis (positive/negative experience), please please share with me.
Thank you!
