Professional Black Leather Conditioner Kit - One-Step Formula for Restoration, Redye and Protect Any Black Leather Product - Ideal for Pro Motorcycle/Auto Detailers

I used this on my 20 year old, faded leather coat and it brought it back to life again! Product went on easy with the applicator sponge provided and gave the coat even black covering. It dried fast and did not have a strong odor as other products have! Going to use on some shoes and my wife's black purse next.

The first image shows a before and the images #2 and #3 show an after. I don't know the exact spot I marked on the before image so I took two showing the full length of leather I treated here. The last two show the difference between before and after in the same image. The top portion of each images is treated and the bottom isn't. Notice the scuff marks and dark grayish color of the bottom section. All the leather I treated had the look of the bottom section. I bought this product because I'm in the process of making a leather belt bag out of black oil tanned leather but the leather has been sitting for a few years, so the leather wasn't in the best of condition. I went to the place I bought the leather to show them the issue to see if they can recommend a product to get rid of the spots and other marks on the leather and they gave me a leather conditioner, which did condition the leather but didn't really help hiding the spots. I'm spending a lot of time on this bag for myself and want it to look like I put my best effort into it so I started looking for black no gloss shoe polish, which I don't think exists since I couldn't find any and then I found this. I treated another part of the leather earlier and followed the instructions for applying and then buffing after but it didn't have a shin like with show polish, which is exactly what I was looking for. There was kind of a semi-gloss, for lack of a better term, which was fantasico. I was looking for somewhere between a matte to semi-gloss finish, which this is. The after images above were taken immediately after application but I ran my fingers across the treated area and it was completely dry with absolutely no transfer to my fingers. The dye was completely absorbed by the leather. I used a sponge from a different source as opposed the the one that was included but it was a similar texture. I didn't want to use the included sponge in case I needed to return the product but I won't be doing that now after I see how well it works. I kept on rubbing the product into the leather until it didn't have that wet shine any longer and then a little bit more, which for this length of leather (about 1.5" x 8" give or take) took only a couple of minutes if that long. I am completely 100% happy with my purchase and will do it again if I need more of this but I think this should be sufficient for me to complete the bag I'm working on and then some. I would highly recommend this product to anyone trying to restore the finish on black oil tanned leather products like motorcycle saddle bags that have been affected from adverse effects of being out in the weather. I can't comment on how well this product does at moisturizing the leather since I had already treated these portions of leather with a conditioner from a different company so your results might vary. I can only comment on how well it removes ugly blotches and scratches on the leather. I do have one very minor complaint: I noticed that when pouring out a bit of the product on the leather or sponge, it comes out more than I wanted to each time I did it. More than likely it's because I'm just not used to the viscosity of the product but I would have liked there to be some restriction on how much comes out of the bottle, maybe utilizing a smaller hole on the cap. This stuff goes a long way so the area I was looking to treat above should have been able to treat it with just three or four drops. This isn't a deal breaker though and feel it'll just take a little getting used to but it is something potential customers need to be made aware.

I don't usually leave reviews but for this leather product I had to. My black leather jacket, which I wear all winter long, is about 25 years old and extremely worn out. I just finished applying Doc Bailey's product and I am stunned on how great my jacket looks again! I highly recommend this for anyone that owns a leather. Especially old worn ones.

I purchased this Original Doc Baileys Black Leather Detail Kit 80004-12 for the specific purchase of rejuvenating my Calvin Klein "Bomber Style" jacket purchased over 10 years ago. During that time, I’ve worn this jacket only occasionally for mostly dressier occasions and have always made an effort to protect and regularly maintain the condition and appearance of its leather. Despite such measures, I was disappointed to discover one day while conditioning the leather that a few areas of slight color loss to the black leather pigment had become visible. First, the inside of the neck collar seemed to be discoloring somewhat, presumably due to my neck perspiration and the salt content found in such. Secondly, the folded edges of the leather located along the wrist areas, bottom, and adjacent to the front zipper appeared to be losing much of their blackness from normal wear to those areas. Third, some lightening to the black leather had inexplicably developed in a few noticeable areas located on the front breast and upper/middle back portions of the jacket. Fourth, and finally, some very light scratches could be found on the leather. Had this been a cheaper and more casual jacket for me, I would have simply attributed these issues to expected wear-and-tear and chalked it all up to giving the jacket some character… but considering that I had originally paid $300 for this jacket and not worn it all that much, I was committed to seeing what I could do to possibly get it back to tip-top shape. After reading many reviews for the various leather detail kits available, I finally settled upon this product used in tandem with Bickmore Bick 4 Leather Conditioner (8 oz.)… and couldn’t be any happier with the results both products delivered. Application of this black leather cream was fairly effortless and I found that a small bit definitely seemed to go a long way for my specific needs on this bomber jacket of mine. The aforementioned issues were all corrected and black coloring was restored evenly to the jacket, just as I had hoped and expected. After allowing the black leather cream to thoroughly dry, I applied the Bickmore Bick 4 Leather Conditioner for the purpose of restoring the leather to its original soft and subtle feel which it did admirably. Overall, I’m very pleased with the results I achieved from using these products on my jacket. I would definitely purchase them both again.

I like the first bottle I purchased many years ago, and all the rest I have gotten, right up to this latest bottle.

Just want to say WHERE have you been my entire life - was prepared to be disappointed as have tried a few things for my leather interior of my car and never been close to satisfied! But WOW just WOW! Easy to use, looks amazing when done, you actually see it getting better with each pass of the sponge - great value for money, a PS for everyone it works fantastic on plastic trim as well boom one very happy bunny will definitely have a bottle of this in my workshop just in case…..

Works as described

Small bottle but it goes a long way. I have used it on my leathers for my motorbike. Also the best shoe polish you will ever get

I have been using this product for years. Excellent.

Very good product that lives up to the promise
