I wanted a natural leather look so have not applied any finish. My shoes have boat or deck shoe flat look.

Hi, I didn't apply leather finish after dying my shoes. I watched a YouTube video and a lady dyed some rather worn shoes with a gorgeous orangish/rust dye. They turned out fabulously, and she dyed SUEDE shoes! That is what I did, only black and newish shoes. She said hers were suede, and it worked great. The package says not to dye suede, but I did anyway. I am not sorry! The color is fabulous and I just brushed them with a soft brush after they were dry. I am not doing anything else to them - mostly because they look good and they are suede. I would suggest reading the package. I don't remember afterwards applications. Sorry!

I followed the instructions to the letter, after utilizing all the items included in their kit, the couch looked fabulous. However, it didn't last long. The couch looks worse than ever now.

It does darken leather when applied. Does from dry & pale to darker gleaming. It has no stain, just the leather soaking up the moisturizers darkens things up. Spot test is all I can reccomend

I use it on $1000 Luchese boots with no problem. On my older worn boots, it does temporarily darken them a little (a day to weeks, depending on the condition), but so far they have come back beautifully. I'd try a little on a cuff or something before committing the whole jacket. And like I said in the review it takes VERY little of this stuff (like a spray or two on a shammy. If you spray it directly on the leather, you've already used too much), followed by gentle buffing.

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.

I used it on my Red Wing Harvester. It darkens the leather then after a month after application it Lightens up but not to the original color. The darkening is a proof for me that product really seeps into the leather. And when the leather dries out, it will go back to the original color but then u will know that u need to apply the LP again.

I use the Bick 5 on my leather furniture and it has not changed the color of my furniture or harmed the leather in any way. Maybe do a follow up question with the person that told you know and find out why they are saying no.

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.

Yes, if you are able to, let it soak in for as long as possible. Especially if your leather is old & dry.

Yes you can use this on leather very easily. Remember to avoid from excessive pressure for branding the leather. That prevents from burning a hole into the leather you want to use. Good luck and have fun.

You'll still want to apply a standard finish. This just colors the wood, it doesn't protect it in any way

I can't say for sure it will make the texture like new? I can say it will make the leather soft again. If the leather has faded at all it will darken it and be soft and waterproof.

Absolutely, and without an "oily" residue. If the leather is really dirty, you may want to use a propitiatory leather cleaner first. If the leather is rather bad and you use this product only, you should have an extra clean rag available to wipe off a "gooey" residue that will form as this mixes with the surface grime. Just wipe that off, and then continue with your application of this product. When dry, simply buff and the feeling of the surface will amaze you.

Whenever in doubt, test it on a small part first. Wait a day and see if it fades or rubs off. Color is not a property of the leather but of the dye used. The product itself is great on all the leather items I've used it on. I doubt if you will have a problem but caution if the dyed leather was manufactured outside US.

Hi Katie,It depends on the type of oil, how long the stain has been there and the grade of leather. We always encourage people to try a small area first and be patient. Apply, let it sit overnight, blot/rub, and repeat....it can take several applications since it needs to work down through the fibers. As always, we offer 100% satisfaction so if you aren't 100% satisfied, we will refund your money.Thanks,Premium Leather Cleaner & Conditioner

Dont know restained my leather and put it on that was only a few months ago but havent noticed any discoloration. Mostly just used to give it a shine.

Yes. If the leather is shiny and textured it will be perfect, think croc print or similar. If the leather is suede then this will darken the suede a bit.
