Bick 4 Leather Conditioner This leather conditioner has a thin, runny lotion-like quality and is easy to apply. The chemical like scent is faint and didn’t overpower the full grain leather scent of my backpack. I applied the Bick 4 to a brand new full-grain leather backpack that was starting to dry out a little due to the extremely hot summer. I had the backpack sitting in its original packaging in the closet for months. I used a clean, soft cloth and applied a small amount at a time of Bick 4 section by section, then lightly wiped over the complete section so that conditioner was evenly buffed in. The color did get a very light shade darker due to the moisture of the product, but it went back to its original color. Note: Although the upper backpack pocket on the comparison pick is lighter than the bottom pocket treated with Bick 4 that’s still drying, it’s lighter than it should be because it was losing it luster due to the extreme summer heat. The completed conditioned product picture is the shade it should be. 1hr 15mins later the backpack was finally done and looked great. This product works as described and is easy to apply. Read more
I've been looking for a quality leather conditioner, especially for some of my lighter-colored boots and bags, and the Bick 4 2 oz. bottle was the perfect size to try out. My Experience I put this product to the test on three different leather items to see how well it worked: A pair of old, light tan leather boots that were looking really dry and had some scratches. An older, dark brown leather wallet that needed a good conditioning treatment. A white leather handbag that had picked up a few minor smudges from daily use. How I Used It The 2 oz. bottle is small and easy to manage, which made the process clean and simple. The liquid itself is thin, like a light lotion, so it soaks in nicely. I gave the bottle a good shake, just like the directions say. I poured some onto a clean, white cloth and rubbed it into all three items, making sure to cover the entire surface. I let it sit for about 15 minutes to fully absorb. Finally, I took a second, clean cloth and buffed the leather to finish it off. The Results (Why I Love It) No Color Change (Huge Win!): This was my biggest concern, especially with the light tan boots, and it passed with flying colors. The leather's color stayed exactly the same, it just looked richer and much more hydrated. If you have light or colored leather, this is a lifesaver. A Little Cleaning Action: It did a surprisingly good job of getting rid of the light surface dirt and the minor scuffs on the white bag. If you have really heavy dirt, you'd probably need a dedicated cleaner, but for regular upkeep, this is all you need. Soft and Supple: The dry boots immediately felt much softer and more flexible—it really restored the moisture to the leather fibers. The old wallet feels supple again, instead of stiff. Perfect Finish: It dries to a natural look. It’s not overly shiny or greasy at all, and there was definitely no sticky residue, which is something I've dealt with using other brands. Final Takeaway If you need a reliable product for your smooth finished leather and you want to be 100% sure it won't change the color or leave a waxy buildup, look no further than Bick 4. The little 2 oz. bottle is a great way to start, and it truly is an excellent all-in-one product for keeping your leather looking its best. Highly recommend! Read more
If you are looking for a leather conditioner to help dry, cracked furniture, this product works great! This conditioner left my leather couch more pliable and soft for a fair duration. This conditioner did not affect the color of the couch. The only problem I have with this product is it leaves a Satin finish, I was looking for a product with a "wet look" finish. Read more
First impression after applying and buffing it in: 4.5 stars. Why not 5? There appears to be some area not brought back to life. It may need several applications. Pros: This product is not waxy or greasy and my leather jacket received it very well (I have a "naked leather" jacket which means it does not have much processing or chemical treatments and the leather retains a natural matt finish and is very soft). It doesn't have shiny chemicals it makes things look like vinyl. It allows the leather to retain its natural look It doesn't smell Cons: It may not clean as easily as it advertises. Label says "conditions, cleans, polishes, protects". It will need some additional applications to meet these promises. Seems more fluidy than other products I've used and may be why I have to use multiple applications. As a product for leather jackets, it conditions but isn't as rich and dense as I would have liked it to be. Overall it is working but I will need to spend some time and more applications for it to fully restore. Still it IS a good product! Read more
It works great! See the pictures of before and after. This conditioner goes on really easy and does not leave a residue. I wet my rag with it and slathered it all over my boots really generously and they soaked it up quickly. It was easy to apply because it is not thick or greasy. When I first put it on, they were a little darker to begin with, but I let it dry for 20 minutes and then wiped the boots off real good with a clean rag and now they look better than new, and they went back to being lighter brown. This type of leather shows scuffs and scratches easily and now they are gone! Just wipe it on very generously, let it dry, and buff! It's like magic! I love this stuff! I highly recommend this product because it really works and it is quick and easy to use! Read more
