Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP (Leather Preservative) is a natural product about the consistency of warm bee's wax (one of its ingredients). We tested it on motorcycle gloves, two kinds of boots, and a black leather jacket.
It was readily absorbed by the leather. While it left undyed brown leather somewhat darker and wet looking, it did not alter the look of any colored leather we treated. Gloves were made immediately more pliable, convincing evidence of enhanced conditioning of the leather. Even weeks later, the gloves remained pliable and markedly softer.
Two pairs of boots also remained pliable and conditioned weeks after application, and, best of all, they were exceptionally waterproof (much better than mink oil, our previous favorite) without being dust magnets.
At $12 for the 8 oz. size, (it's also available in 4 oz. and gallons) Obenauf's LP is a great leather softener, preserver, and waterproofer.
We recommend it for motorcycle boots and gloves.
Obenauf's LP also sells an oil that it recommends for softer leathers such as jackets, which we will also be testing. Click to see this follow-up review!
