For a new leather couch, to protect the arms, is regular Obernauf OK or use LP?

I used the liquid Obermauf on a 40 year old (non-suede) leather sofa and chair and was very pleased. I use it on boots, car seats, and other leathers too. I assume it will darken the leather so I'd consider that if just doing the arms.

I have only used the regular and applied it to a 10 year old chair, it restored the color. Some of the chair was exposed to the sun and it had dried up the leather, Obenauf replenished the oils in the leather and darkened the color.

I have smooth leather upholstery and does very well. Not as good on the floor carpet, but as good as my old Kenmore canister.

These couches are leather, if you have kids that will stab them with pens and pencils or scrape sharp object across them, then these are not the couches for you, I would go with fabric couches. I personally love these couches, my son is 15 and all I have to do is keep him from piling everything on them. They are well made and very comfortable.

I wouldn't put this on leather. My couch is letter and yes it slides off. I'm constantly tucking it. It's also terrible about collecting hair. I have a heavy duty comforter I actually use most of the time. I payed 180 entirely way too much

yes, if the sofa is damaged already; will hold a slipcover very nicely. I will use mine with crochet arm/neck protectors. I would not use on new leather as these do punch holes....

Obenauf leather preserver. This particular product, the straight cleaner by Chamberlain is unnecessary in my opinion. Water does the trick for spot cleaning if you condition the leather first. The Obenauf product was developed for heat and water resistance but may change the color or texture of your leather, like most other products. Test anything you may want to use on a swatch or unseen section first.

My sofa is leather but it doesn't recline. It is close to 7 feet long and that would be around the maximum coverage you can get. It won't stay in place because nothing is holding it in place so you will be constantly readjusting it. However, the quality is excellent.

My husband and I just had bought a leather furniture for our living room. The small one fit perfect on the leather recliner and the larger ones were for the loveseat and sofa. I can't tell you what a difference that they have made. Once she got a zapped just be touching it, well lets just say we did not have to put them on after about 2 weeks, as she started using her own bed. They are great!!!

It depends on the type of leather and how clean you want it. This is more suited for automotive leather that had a protective coating. This product doesn't work so well on home couches.

Bonded. I try to avoid "bonded" because if you Google it you will see the only standard is that there is at least some ground-up leather in it. It could be an ear. I prefer dead-animal free but I purchased this chair with a taint of dead animal in it. I could not sit on an entire leather skin of a dead animal, but that is just me. Vinyl has its own issues too.

Maurice. I would not recommend this for a football. The problem with Obenauf's LP is it's moderately thick, oily and takes a considerable amount of time to soak into leather. As a leather protector it is an excellent product; however, it will darken leather and depending on the type and density of the leather it can permanently darken your product. I can't imagine it on a football - it would make it pretty hard to handle and your hand would be a "mess" (think covered with grease). I don't use LP on many products due to its "heavy oily nature"; however, I do strongly recommend it for classic leather winter type boots that get exposed to salt, water, etc. Maurice.

I am pretty sure No. Probably polyester, (for better wear and low flammability), but it does have a kinda heavy course linen feel. We are pretty picky and for the money, its a great couch.

Sure, go for it. Probably not as comfortable as couch that would have padded arm rests but I think you could use it indoors for a year. The coffee table would be great too.

I think it would slip right off. I have to reposition mine all the time and I have a cloth couch. There is no backing that would keep it on leather

My car has leather seats and I have not had any problems with the summer infant duomat. It really does protect our leather seats. Hope this answers your question.
