I looked up the Dyo and it is specifically for oil based stains and adhesive. While it sounds amazing, I would be afraid to use it on vachetta that is relatively clean simply to bring it back to the new vachetta stage of color versus to remove oils from the handles, etc.

Yep, it sounds like the stuff would be best used for dark/dirty handles that have absorbed a ton of hand oils and dirt. Still, I think I may try it on my older vachetta...

I definitely recommend spot testing but it really works great on handles and spots on vachetta. I do not recommend cleaning handles until they have a good light patina. I was really freaked out when the leather guy slapped it on my bag but it really does an amazing job. I use it mostly for spot treatments. Maybe I will try to post a picture.

Has anyone from Australia purchase any LMB products for their LVs? Is it work the hefty shipping fees? I'm pretty keen on buying the LMB LV Kit (approx US$80) BUT I don't want to spend $50+ on shipping it to Sydney!!!

Is there any products within Australia (or atleast ship here at a cheaper cost) that is just as good as LMB to clean and protect the vachetta on my LV pieces?? I've bought kiwi leather conditioner and the coach mousturiser - the kiwi conditioner was OK but it did patina my Noe (which I didn't mind as I got it preloved and it looked better than when I first got it anyway).
