A) There are a couple of key differences between Leather Better and many of the other leather conditioners you may have seen or used in the past.
- First and foremost, Leather Better contains only natural ingredients instead of the chemical solvents that many leading brands are made of. Unlike chemical based Leather Conditioners on the market, Leather Better has a very pleasant citrus scent instead of the all too familiar chemical smell of other products.
- Secondly, Leather Better is colour neutral. You do not need a black can for black leather or a blue can for blue leather, one can will do for any colour of Leather.
- Lastly, Leather Better will fully waterproof your Leather goods upon application, protecting them from anything mother nature can through their way.
While some competing products might temporarily improve the look of your leather, Leather Better takes the protection a step further, conditioning, protecting and waterproofing your prized leather goods. The result is a beautiful transformation, making dry, scratched and tattered leather instantly look like new again.
