Re: Hancock & Moore Leather Cleaning & Conditioning Protocol
So here's a test for ya'll....a customer and forum member was in the store asking about the product so I said "Let's see what it does!" And I pulled out a spare Capri Camel leather I had, which is one of the GR 4 naked leathers. Gridded it out with a Sharpie, and the left side was untreated, the right side with Leather Solutions Softener Cream and then followed by the Protection cream for Aniline hides
Then I went and got the nastiest chemicals I had around the store. WD-40, which is an oil, Vinegar (acid), Ammonia (acid) and some hand lotion, since I have a lot of ladies asking me about that one.
P.S. The permanent marker is FOREVER - and will never come out.
Here's the first photo - the spills just done:

Put the bottles down, walk to the back and grab a paper towel and blot it up - we do not want to scrub these, or use water on them. Just blot them and let them be:

Three days later - only the oily WD-40 remains on the untreated side, and its very faint. It will probably work out over the next 3 to 5 months. So much for the myth that you can't buy naked leathers for everyday use!
