Will this dull the shine on the leather? Also, does this product work on light colored leather (will it darken or leave streaky marks)? Thanks!

If you worried about dulling, I would suggest a traditional shoe shine. This offers great protection for shoes that are worn very often. I work in hospitality and am constant using this to get buts of food and who knows what else off. I wouldn't say it dulls very muc overall and it certainly is safe on light colored leather.

It has a natural shine, but I use it as a base layer and apply polish over it. I have had no streaking or darkening on my light brown boots. It dries clear, but pulls up some of the existing polish color, so there is no contrast between treated and untreated sections.

No and no. I have used it on dark and light leather and it does not seem to do anything more than give the leather a shine.

If it's natural leather and really dried out, it may look a little darker after finishing, but this is not real oily. My wife uses it on Coach purses and it doesn't change the appearance, just restores it to the original finish. We highly recommend it and use it all the time. Good luck with your tack!

I am using it on white aneline leather. It's working well with no discoloration problems.

Hi Bill - We have been working on a specialized leather cleaner and pre-conditioning product for the past 6 months and it is just now finishing up it's final round of testing. However, until we have it ready for sale on Amazon, we would recommend simply using some warm water with a small amount of mild soap and then allowing it to dry as you said. Please note that light colored leathers (especially jackets) may darken during both the cleaning and conditioning process, but this is normal and will begin to fade over time. THANKS!

It will temporarily darken some areas of the leather. I had some medium brown boots and it darkened some areas that were more worn. I actually liked the effect as it made the leather look richer and less ashy.

Jeff: I have used on both my cars, black leather and the other gray leather..and once it dries it keeps the natural look of your leather. This is mainly a protectant for the leather. The shininess in my experience goes away once it dries.

Not this product. This is used for a quick clean on the dash board area. I like it because it leaves a Matt finish not that high gloss like other products spray on swipe of that easy. For leather I recommend mothers "reflections" leather care. All the reflections care products I would highly recommend

Hand wash soap and water, then use leather polish (the polish will help keep it cleaner later too, I use a dull polish on most my leather goods, to not give it a shine, unless you want that). This is how i clean all my leather products.

Hi Marian - LeatherNu Conditioner will not replace color that is missing, but it will rejuvenate the leather and replace its natural shine if the surface has a dull or "matte" appearance to it now. I hope this helps.

It does not restore the color, as with anything, once the color is gone it's gone. However, it does darken faded spots as it is a moisturizer, but again fades over time as the leather dries out with age.

It will bleach anything, safely is the question. I think it really depends how you use it. In very small amounts you might be able to bleach a spot out of leather but I'm not sure that's the intended use. I used this to bleach black spots out of my wood floor before refinishing. It worked beautifully in that application, you might want to look into something less aggressive and meant for leather.

I haven't tried it on dyed fine leather. I did use it on our decade old Italian leather recliner that is "tremendously worn" and dry in all places. I had even considered sending it to the landfill, but decided to try to give it a second chance. It darkened it some and softened it lots and moistened it abundantly. It should be brushed with the paint brush from the bottom up to the top of the sides so there will not be any drip marks. It would not be a waste to order a small bottle and try it in a spot out of main site, because you can always use it on leather and vinyl belts and on non-suede shoes and on purses. I washed all the things with saddle soap and let it dry before I applied the Leather Honey. Best Wishes in You Endeavor!

W., this absolutely, without a doubt DOES darken leather. Most any petroleum/wax leather application will darken lightly tanned leathers. However, I've had good success with Otter Wax not darkening very much.

It hasn't darkened anything I have used it on, but it might if you use it on a really dry porous piece. The items I have used it on were not real dry since I take care of them. I have used it on gun leather, boots, and purses so far and am totally pleased with the results. The best I have found.

I have used it on all of my fabric shoes. Suede, cloth, brushed leather etc. I have done really light coats and very heavy coats. It does darken them while they are wet, but as they dry they seem to be revert back to very close to their original color.

I have used on dark leather sofas and light colored Auto seats. I have not had any problems with discoloration or residue. - You should not have to do very often.
