Bickmore Bick 4 Leather Conditioner 32 Fl Oz - Best Since 1882 - Leather Cleaner & Conditioner - Restore Polish & Protect All Smooth Finished Leathers

Gave my aged leather bag a fresh look after using this conditioner. it really softens and restores the shine without feeling greasy. i’ve used it on my work shoes and my favorite sofa, and it works well on both. nice product that’s handy to have around for quick touch-ups. definitely helps keep my leather items in better shape for longer. glad i tried it!

I like leather products, and I like to take care of my stuff, so the right leather care product is critical. I've used a great many over the years and have settled on two as being clearly superior: Bick 4 and Leather Honey ( Leather Honey Leather Conditioner, the Best Leather Conditioner 8oz Bottle ). They are quite different from each other. Bick 4: I'm pretty sure this stuff is what North Beach Leather used to sell under their own name. It is a lanolin/oil lotion that really works. I use it bare handed, and my skin feels soft and good afterwards. It doesn't darken leather, and it cleans as it works if I wipe it up before it is all soaked in. I've used it on my wife's old Chanel purse, an Armani jacket, and some Coach gloves. In every case, it did exactly what I wanted, making the leather softer, more suppler, and feel great. It is easy to wipe Bick 4 off of areas it is unwanted, like plastic or metal. Leather Honey: Leather Honey has a unique effect, making leather somehow feel denser and more hydrated. It is hard to explain, but it is very different than the effect of more lotion-like products, and I've tried a lot of them. On my favorite ten-year-old leather jacket from North Beach Leather, Leather Honey soaked in quickly in certain spots, and I added some more. After two hours, there was nothing to wipe away. The already heavy jacket feels heavier, better, and the results have proven to hold up and add more rain resistance. A new black leather feels more supple. A pair of black Ferragamos appear less abraded at the toe. Brown Sebago deck shoes certainly got more supple and soaked in a lot. The color darkened. That brings me to the three small caveats: 1) Leather Honey is not a cleaner. Since it isn't water-based like lotion products, dirt stays. For example, on the Sebagos, an area that was a bit dirty was just the same, but the leather under it was clearly treated. 2) Leather Honey doesn't evaporate on plastics and rubbers, nor does it wipe off that easily. A day after treating the Sebagos, the soles still had Leather Honey on them, now somewhat sticky. Obviously I should have done a better job of wiping. 3) Leather honey can and will darken some light leathers. Which one should you use? I use Bick 4 for thinner leathers, or ones for which darkening would be a problem, or if I'm trying to clean and condition in one step. If the words that come to mind with the leather you're treating are "soft," "buttery," or "thin," then use Bick 4. Its effect won't last as long as Leather Honey's, but it works, and it works beautifully, doing just what you want a leather conditioner to do. I use Leather Honey for thick leathers that I want to feel more like high quality leather. Think cow hide over lamb skin. I make sure the leather is clean, and use Leather Honey if water resistance is important. I use Leather Honey if the leather is really bad, because it does more than the Bick 4. I use it when some darkening wouldn't be a problem. Leather Honey makes all leather more, er, leathery, and I mean that in a good way.

I love how it restored my boots and belt! They look so much better. There are still some spots where I had dripped something on my boot and that’s not totally gone do it didn’t “clean” it but it is much less noticeable.

This is a little expensive for the quantity you are getting, but it is actually a very good quality. Be sure to clean your leather before applying it, then rub into surface using an old rag. It does take a moment to saturate the rag, so you end up wasting a little bit each time. But this softens and conditions leather without damaging it or affecting its color too much! Don’t forget to test it on a discreet part of the leather, before applying it to the whole leather object, just to make sure you like how it looks. It’s not a perfect waterproof, and it does make the leather a little greasy at first. But it’s much better for the leather than a lot of alternatives.

This is probably the best leather conditioner I have used. Used on a leather chair that was looking a little dry and it brought it back to life quickly and easily with no residue, and without changing the color, just taking it back to the original depth of color and suppleness. Additionally we have a new kitten who managed to get his claws stuck in the leather and while the marks are still there they are definitely far less noticeable. Will be using it on handbags next.

This was my first time using a leather conditioner, and I’m impressed with the versatility. I’ve used this on various leathers and colors, and the performance is consistent across the board. It enriches the pigment making the blacks much deeper without changing the matte texture. ​ I apply it with my fingers so I can feel exactly where the leather needs it more. I let it sit for a few minutes before buffing it out. It improves the hand-feel, soaks in fast, and has a neutral scent. Highly recommend.

For my oiled leather Birkenstock sandals, cleaning the straps was a pain. Then I found this product which does the job wonderfully

Muy buen producto, no deja residuos grasos

I am not sure if this is the right consistency of the conditioner but I have a watery one. I tried to apply on my bag but it seems the bag is still the same.

Very good leather conditioner. Does not darken leather.

Works really well for New Rocks! Really has helped me break them in and soften the leather. Doesn't darken the black too. Was reccomended to me by Infinity Leather who sold me my New Rocks. 😊
