Obenaufs Heavy Duty LP Leather Preservative (4oz)- All Natural Beeswax Oil Conditioner- Rejuvenate Restore & Preserve Sunfaded or Cracked Boots Jackets Saddles Car Auto Upholstery Furniture- USA Made

This product works very well have used it on my pair of whites smoke jumper boots since they were new and there boot stings are top notch aswell.

The owner is particular about the types of ingredients going into this conditioner, keeping out less expensive components that are in most other conditioner because they actually degrade leather over time. I cant say its easy to use, but that is the nature of wax. You have to work it in with your fingers. It takes time and its messy, but can get 6 months hard use before needing more, a year or two if under normal wear.

Cant go wrong with this stuff. Best boot product I have found and even works on chapped nips

I read about using beeswax to treat leather in a news article. I looked up beeswax leather treatment on amazon and found this. What sold it for me was a guy in Englands review stating he used it on leather and wooden gunstocks. Nobody writes that in a fake review, so I gave it a shot. Thus far I have treated my 20 year old leather couch, 120 year old German SXS shotgun stock, Thursday Boot Co boots, burl wood smoking pipe, and the wood on a 100 year old steamer trunk. This stuff is GOOD. I used snow seal for years and this is better. I treated the couch with olive oil, this is better, I used orange oil infused wax on my shotgun stock, pipe and trunk, and this is better. Next up are my Filson and Barbour hunting clothes. Hell, I may rub this stuff on my wifes fanny for sunscreen this summer just to see how it does. Again, good stuff. Update- I used this to seal the ash trim on my 1995 Mad River Canoe. It works well for that too.

Was specifically looking between this product and Huberds to use as dressing/conditioner for my new pair of Wesco boots. Boots can be very expensive and thus a investment that one expects to keep and wear for a very long time. So its important to use a product that fits this bill. After much research, between Obenaufs and Huberds the ingredients and quality are nearly identical and the main difference between them is the scent. Huberds is said to have a pine campfire scent and Obenaufs has a beeswax honey scent. Based off this i chose Obenaufs and very glad i did. The product itself is beeswax colored and smells more like a sweet natural beesewax scent. I liken it to natural lip balms with a slight honey aroma. Very mild and when working with it i couldnt actually smell it nor did it linger on the boots. I placed my boots and Obenaufs outside in the sun for a hour or so to heat up the leather and cleaned the boots with a damp rag to remove dirt and dust. After this i used my fingers to apply the product. I only used enough to cover the tips of my fingers and the leather absorbed quickly and easily into the leather. I then left them outside for a couple hours to absorb more of the product. No stickyness or change in texture! Overall fantastic product and i see this jar lasting a very long time!

The reason I purchased this preservative is for use in the leather foot bed of sandals to prevent them from collecting summer foot grossness. Without any protection, the foot bed gets sweaty and odor-iffic. I read that this stuff prevents bacteria growth and is a waterproofing agent, so I decided to give it a try. I just applied it to two brand new pairs of sandals yesterday, so I havent put them through any daily use yet, but Im already a fan of this stuff! The preservative soaks in very well, and has a pleasant, faint, honey-like smell. This preservative is almost like butter, and is very easy to use. The warmth of your fingers is enough to melt it just slightly and begin the absorption process. After applying with my fingers I used a hair-dryer set to high heat and it really helped to melt it completely into the leather. You can literally see it becoming one with with the leather! While you can tell that there is a just a hint of waxiness to the treated surface, its much more natural than I was expecting. I applied 3 layers and can hardly tell its there. Im guessing it will become even less evident as I continue to wear them. **One bit of warning on color change: It darkens light-colored leather quite a bit. In fact, Id say a LOT. What was initially a creamy, light-colored leather foot-bed (would call it a very light flesh-tone) became many shades darker (like a well-tanned beach babe) after application. I didnt mind the color change, but is something to keep in mind if you are concerned about any color change from your original light leather color. The color change for darker brown and black leather was almost imperceptible. But light will be quite a bit darker after this stuff is applied. The only sort of downside is that it takes several hand-washings and some soapy scrubbing to completely remove the waxiness from your fingers after applying it. But its not terrible, and certainly not a deal-breaker.

The product is easy to apply and brought my boots back to life. Would have given 5 stars but the top of the jar was broken when the product arrived (must have been broken before being packaged because the broken piece was not in the box). I hope the product does not dry out before I use it all.

It was easy to use and the waterproof is amazing. I cant believe how water resistant my daughters boys are after using this.

While searching for a product to condition my boots, I came across a video from Wranglerstar on YouTube and it looked like a great product and super easy to use so I decided to try it. It works great and softens up and conditions my boots in a short period of time. Highly recommend.

I followed the instructions and did two applications and my 10+ year-old Zamberlan 996s look great. I did not expect this product to do anything with the scuffing on the toes but to my amazement it did. Really a welcome surprise! Love that you can apply this by hand -literally with your bare hands-and get a nice refresh look to boots and other leather stuff. The Zambies are basically waterproof forever, at least in my experience of 25 years of Zamberlan ownership, so I have no idea if they help with that or not. Its not very often that a product not only lives up to the rep but manages to surpass and deliver beyond expectations. A very solid recommendation on this product!
