Common Q&A’s:
-
Can I use this on nubuck or suede leather?
No, this product is intended for smooth leather. Applying it to nubuck or suede will alter the texture and appearance, converting it to a smooth, waxy finish. -
Will this wax darken my leather items?
It may slightly darken some leathers. It's recommended to test on a hidden area first to ensure satisfaction with the result. -
Do I need to heat the leather after application?
No, the wax provides waterproofing upon application and air drying; no heat activation is necessary. -
How often should I reapply the wax?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and exposure to elements. Reapply when water no longer beads on the surface or after thorough cleaning.
