Cadillac Select Leather Lotion Cleaner and Conditioner- For Handbags, Sofas, Jackets, Furniture, Purses, and More

i have used a bunch of different leather products in the past that didn't give me the results i had hoped for and didn't have high expectations for cadillac select premium leather conditioner. i read the reviews, visited the website, read a few blog posts... and compared a bunch of different products before deciding. see, i bought - what seemed to be - a lightweight lambskin jacket off ebay. it arrived and i was horribly disappointed! first, it has a light finish to it and second, it was horribly dry! i honestly thought that i was going to just have to get rid of this jacket coz i wouldn't even be able to resell it in good conscience. it was so dry that i knew it would shred if worn - which was probably why i got it for a good price . i didn't really have anything to lose so i ordered this product. when the conditioner arrived i applied it, following the directions and later found out that i could use a bit more at each application. so far i have treated the jacket 3 times letting it dry in between applications. i may have to treat it a few more times but i can feel the difference and it actually looks more hydrated! it's drapey, more supple, the color is richer... it's weightier and smells more like leather! i am truly surprised! there was some color bleeding but that's because these's hardly any finish on the leather. i didn't rub or work the lotion into the leather, it just soaked it up. there isn't any film or stickiness, or residue after application, it isn't perfumed, or greasy. there's a faint, almost polish scent that fades after the lotion dries. if i was really on my game i'd remove the jacket lining and condition the underside of the leather also. what's in it? i don't know but it hasn't irritated my skin, doesn't make me sneeze, or my eyes water. i don't think there's any dimethicone or silicone in it. it seems like a really good quality conditioner. i am happy with the results so far and will order this again - i just hope the formula doesn't change!!!

I've waited to write this review to really test out how this conditioner would work on my bags. I've used this on 4 different Chanel bags, one pink lambskin, one black lambskin, one white caviar, and one black caviar and the results were pretty good. I hesitated to use it on the pink lambskin and white caviar as I was worried that it would alter the color of my bags, but so far, my bags looked amazing without any changes in color. I apply a bit more on the back where it tends to crease when the bag is opened and I've noticed that the creasing is less apparent now that I condition it more often. I try to condition my bags every 3 months to keep it looking pristine. I would definitely recommend this to others that are looking for a conditioner for their Chanel babies

Perfect for conditioning my leather handbags

Works well

Love it. I use it on my Chanel (white patent leather), Chloe (light yellow leather) and Isabel Marant bag (brown natural leather) bags. Read some of the reviews and many buyers had issues with the bottle missing a good 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottle; I had no issues, the bottle was pretty full. The condition is a soluable, viscous solution. It goes on clear and dries clear. I used as directed and put some on and evenly spread the conditioner throughout the bags surface, let it sit for a bit and gently polished it away. I had no issues with residue and have already used on three different leather compositions and they all look amazing. Was initially concerned that the conditioner may change the color of the brown leather (Isabel marant bag in photo), but it did not change the color at all. The photo shows the left with the condition after first application, and the right without the conditioner. As you can see, the left is slightly moist and shiny, but with a quick polish, it returns to its original color. I used about 1/5 of the bottle so far on 4 bags. This will definitely go a long way. The conditioner has a slight acidic, plastic smell, but it is bareable and does not remain on your bag. I have very sensitive to scent, and can comfirm, it does not retain the initial scent. I researched A LOT of products before buying this one, and I am very pleased. :)

Until last week, 2023-08-23 (yyyy-mm-dd), I had never applied cleaners or conditioners to my lambskin "B-3 style" imitation flight jacket that I bought new on 2002-06-20. I had forgotten how dark, shiny, and moist the jacket had looked until I compared the pictures of the jacket when it arrived and when I started to apply Cadillac leather conditioner. My jacket had turned grayish and lost its gloss. Now, after using almost the entire bottle of lotion, my jacket looks and feels new. I was pleasantly surprised to receive unsolicited compliments from passersby. First I followed the instructions and used a soft cloth to apply the lotion sparingly. This removed some grime from the leather, like polishing dress shoes with a clean cloth might. Alas at this point the leather looked or felt hardly different from before I applied conditioner. So on the second day (after waiting in vain for the conditioner to take effect) I diagnosed the leather as being too dry, poured conditioner directly on the leather surface, and spread it and rubbed it in as if I were finger painting. Because I was not using a cloth to spread the lotion, all of the lotion was absorbed by the leather. The leather must have been thirsty after 21 years. It kept absorbing and absorbing lotion, some spots more than others, especially areas that experience abrasion, namely cuffs, collars, pocket entrances, and sides of the jacket (because I often put my hands in my pockets and the sleeves rub against the front and sides of the jacket). These areas needed 2 or 3 coats of lotion. I waited a day or two between coats, so that the lotion would penetrate the leather. Now my jacket looks darker, shinier, and feels cool to the touch because of its higher moisture content. Not sticky, tacky, wet, or smelly at all. The bottle of lotion is almost empty. I might finish it because I don't want the lotion to sit and age in my cupboard. I may have achieved identical results with "Pond's cold cream unscented", which is my mother's favorite solution for moisturizing skin, leather, and bare wood furniture. Leather is a kind of skin after all. I'm glad that for the cost of a dry cleaning I was able to take care of my favorite jacket.

Product is fine - I did try it and it does what it says, just not quite right for what I am using it on. I was not interested in returning but I did notice after the fact that it is not returnable and this is not disclosed anywhere in the product description.

My Marc Jacobs white leather cross-body bag has seen a lot of use since I bought it 6 months ago, including two major overseas trips. I had little hope for getting it clean. After reading Amazon reviews and specs for the wide variety of leather cleaners, I decided to try this one. I was stunned at the results. The bag looks bright and clean, even the grubby strap! It helps, I'm sure, to be working with a high quality leather product, but I'm still amazed at how beautifully and easily this cleaner works. I simply put a soft rag over my index finger, tipped the bottle onto my finger and gently rubbed in circles over about a 4-inch section at a time, then repeating with the next section. A little extra attention to the base and corners where it had touched floors was needed, but yielded quickly. Then I buffed and dried the surface with a clean soft cloth... voila! I left the strap until last, thinking it would take more effort, but it cleaned perfectly with one application. And the bag is deliciously soft and supple again. I am very satisfied with and highly recommend this product.
