Grangers Leather ProtectionG-Wax Tin

First off... a word about the people who supplied me via Amazon. In this instance it was Active Outdoors (also possibly known as Spinn.co.uk...both names featured during my correspondence with them). My delivery went slightly awry as the parcel was split and only one tin was inside instead of the two I ordered. Having contacted the supplier, who hardly ever have issues with the strength of the packaging, I suspect the parcel had been tampered with somewhere in the Royal Mail system (there was a clean-ish cut right across the package which didn't look as though it could easily have happened accidentally), and I did make representations to the Post Office, however the suppliers responded to my email almost straight away and kindly offered to send a replacement - which they did and which arrived literally the next day, having been sent First Class post. Absolutely first class service from them - thank you.And back to the item.... As per the title. Used it on boots mainly and never had cause to regret it.There is currently a choice of numerous products to treat your boots and other leather outdoor wear with. As well as G Wax you could use dubbin (both the hard 'Woly Wax' and the soft 'Cherry Blossom' dubbin....see my reviews), or Nikwax Aqueous Liguid, then there's Neatsfoot Oil or Hydrophane Leather Dressing Oil as well as ordinary shoe polish - either black, brown or neutral. I honestly think you could use any of the above (and I have used all the above) and you'd preserve the leather but I'd say the G wax is as easy and as effective as any and there would be no possibility of the dubbin rotting stitching, as per the old wives tale. Certainly it's the one almost universally recommended by manufacturers and it wouldn't prejudice any warranty you might have whereas not everyone loves dubbin. The Nikwax Aqueous Liquid is good for wet boots, after you've cleaned and rinsed them, but takes a while to treat the boots all over as you really need to brush it on then work it in with your fingers....but it does soak in well and is good stuff. If using G Wax or dubbin I've always warmed up the boots, whilst applying it, with a hairdryer or electric paint stripper set on low and that helps the stuff to soak into the stitching. The G Wax does polish up quite well albeit not as well as ordinary shoe polish does. Lastly I routinely treat fabric or suede or nubuck boots with G Wax (and sometimes dubbin) and have NEVER had a scrap of trouble...whether it be Goretex lined boots or otherwise. In my opinion nubuck/suede/fabric boots need a good treatment of waterproofer as per above and none of my boots make me sweat unduly and are all waterproof. The spray on suede stuff isn't worth buying (IMO) so ALL my boots get regularly maintained with proper treatments. (And I have to admit, I've got a few!).

As the saying goes , ' it does exactley as it says on the tin' . Good quality product , easy to apply , very effective. great value and a must to keep your boots protected, alive and kicking .

Shines your leather pr shade shoes and once you apply a few times it is worth the few pounds that it costsWorks well and easy and is easy to useDoesn't come with the brush or cloth but it is worth buying to protect your shoes or bootsA few wipes later they are like new again, not for the inside of your shoes or boots but are for your outside of your shoes and bootsShines well ..Nice and easy to use

Brought my old boots back from the dead! Had a pair of docs for about 12 years and hadn't given them a polish in a while. They were getting quite leaky and not really doing the job they used to. So I bought this wax, gave the boots a good scrubbing, then once dry, gave them a few coats of this polish. The polish went on quite easy, and doesn't have too strong a smell, which was a great start!The visual difference was almost immediate, they look so much better now!Tried wearing them out to a VERY wet day on a farm, and my feet stayed dry the whole time. Think I'll be able to get another few years out of my boots thanks to this wax!

Brilliant.

Excellent waterproofing wax,

A great product. Keeps my leather hiking boots dry in poor weather!

Amazing stuff, made my walking 4 year old boots look like new….well almost new. It returned the shine, removed scuffs and scratches which were imbedded deep in the leather. I am so pleased 😌. Once they dry I will impregnate them with Grengers Waterproof Repel plus 👍
