Product Information

The bristles will cut through tough dirt on leather surfaces and the wooden handle will be durable and comfortable. After trying many products on the market over recent years I was a little dubious to say the least about trying Ducks Wax. Most small leather goods made today, such as shoes, bags and jackets, have a protectant added that offers some waterproofing.

You may apply your dressing to all areas of your saddle that are not suede, including the padded inserts and girth straps. Using wax to finish leather can be a crucial component for producing leather goods that last—let’s take a look at what leather wax is and what kinds of leather wax there are.The leather polish components directly affect the level of shine, glow, protection, pigmentation and moisturizing. Make sure you only apply a thin layer of leather wax especially to the part of the leather that bends or has creases. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel ™, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalised just from cleaning. If this is not effective then use Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather™ for routine DWR maintenance. While leather conditioners offer some protection to leather, they don’t make a leather item waterproof.

It conditions leather by replenishing tanning agents and lubricants, and can be used to either break in new leather or revitalise dried and cracked leather.And even the correct conditioner can have an undesired effect on the item it’s used on – it might darken the leather or leave an unwelcome sheen. Leather conditioners keep these expensive goods supple and can protect against water damage and mildew while imparting an attractive patina to the leather. Made in the United States OrthoStep Boot and Shoe cream is a nice leather polish heavy with all-natural oils and waxes.

Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather ™ provides instant Durable Water Repellency (DWR), stopping leather from absorbing water and ‘wetting out’ while maintaining breathability.Wipes: Convenient cloth or paper wipes treated with leather conditioner are wiped across the surface of the leather item. Additionally, these traditional leather conditioning products are easily over applied and this can damage the support of your footwear. Anyway, in a flash of inspiration last night I took the laces out and gave them a treatment with Duckswax, left it to soak for a while then wiped it off and repeated.

Applied to my Cat boots twice now, and buffed up, but not to a high gloss, as some users seem to have done.I showed my work mates today how good it is by pouring a cup of water over my freshly treated boot's! Also, be wary of perforated leather, you’ll need to be more cautious to prevent saturation and leaving damage. Between the three materials, the sizes of beeswax, lanolin, and carnauba wax generally range from 1 oz chunks of beeswax to 4 oz of carnauba wax. Creams and lotions: These leather conditioners are simply rubbed in with the fingers or with a soft, lint-free cloth.
