Is this product any good for leather? Used it years ago and loved it but after spending a near fortune on a new saddle didn't want to order some of it was going to weaken the leather!

Thanks

I use it, and I love it! Can't say I've noticed any weakening in the leather

Ive tried a sample of it and keep meaning to buy a full size pot!

Just had a look at the site. The product has some impressive customers

Why would you think it would weaken the leather?

I can just remember reading somewhere that certain ingredients in some leather products aren't very good for leather? Maybe I dreamt it!

Lol, if you did then your dreams are as barking as mine

Maybe, as it does look a very tempting product, buy a small pot and trial it for a period on a non-critical piece of tack?

I must admit that now I've seen it, I'm tempted to give it a go... anything that Carl Hester and Mary King use has got to be good

Hmm very tempted to buy some now...

I'm just going to get some have used it before in my previous saddle and loved it but was just going to check it didn't have some odd ingredients in it! Thinking about it, it was probably something about Neats foot oil I read? God I need more sleep!

I use it on mine and like it, although it can be a bit sticky, but the results are great

Does anyone know if it's good for 'rescuing' leather that's been, let's say, in a teenager's bedroom in the corner; you know the one, the coldest part of the house where the heating just doesn't quite reach...?

Please no one do as I did and try and clean your saddle with Sablene hoof cream In my defence, it was a late night before a show, I was tired and I picked up the wrong tub

It's brilliant stuff. Really does give wonderful shine with no effort, and I am a very lazy person about tack cleaning. But I'd recommend Effax (think that's what it's called) as a rescue product - you can almost see it soaking into the leather and doing amazing things.
