Australian Leather Wax Waterproofing Canaubria and Bees wax, Neatsfoot oil

Product Information

Rub the wax thoroughly into wet or dry clean leather, using either the sponge applicator or your fingers, paying special attention to seams. So cleaning and re-waxing your leather in a very timely fashion using the right application methods will help to ensure that your leather maintains some level of breathability.

My motorcycle boots are about 3 years old and I had only used kiwi polish on them but now use DucksWax almost exclusively possibly once a month but I generally keep them in pretty good condition in any case, cleaning and polishing them regularly. There was a time when that stuff worked wonders but you have to apply it every week and it has no waterproofing properties at all ! Once it arrived in the post I immediately took a pair of steel toe capped work shoes and applied the wax and was instantly impressed.They've never been waterproof and I wear over trousers when it rains but it'll be interesting to see how they hold up now when I'm caught in a quick shower. This can make your time wearing leather items such as shoes, boots, jackets, very uncomfortable due to the lack of breathability. Avoid using too much, as this will make your leather boots harder to maintain in the future and potentially gum up if immediately exposed to dirt and grime. Tempting though that was I used it on my leather Musto tall boots which were badly in need of some nourishment and beginning to crack and let in water.

This gives them an attractive (in my opinion) slightly worn, slightly aged, look, with the 'lived in' patina that manufacturers try to achieve. Every possible care has been taken by Albion Saddlemakers to ensure consistency and quality of their products. Check the user feedback to understand if the product leaks after the application and causes a mess on hands or flooring. A leather conditioner for a sofa might contain very different ingredients than one made to condition leather shoes.It also replenishes tanning agents to maintain the support of leather footwear without over-softening. Features an authentic 200-year old Swiss Formula originally developed to care for leather exposed to extreme conditions in Switzerland’s challenging mountainous regions. The long answer on the other hand is that it depends on what you would like the wax to do for your leather, the leather material you’re waxing, and how you apply it to the leather.

After trying many products on the market over recent years I was a little dubious to say the least about trying Ducks Wax. It has been work on virtually every ride and been to every rally throughout this time and it has never been cleaned or protected once.But it’s probably too good because what’s great for leather jackets and some handbags isn’t necessarily a feature you want in a pair of sturdy shoes.
