Does it work on shiny, smooth leather too? what about nubuck?

Yes, the waterproofing effect works as well on clean, smooth surface leather items. However, if the smoothness comes from a wax coating, the effect and its permanency is much diminished. As for "nu-buck" (sanded outside leather, suede-like in appearance), the stuff is also effective, but be aware of the significant darkening it produces, proportional to the density of application. Try it on a less visible portion of your material (perhaps the edge of the tongue) to gauge whether the color change is acceptable. Good luck.

I believe this spray can use on any kind of smooth leather. I used on all my handbags either lambskin or calfskin. Not on suede for sure.

No it will not "stick" to anything. (at least in my experience) It has a plastic like feel to it. It increases the roughness of the texture but it wont "stick" to anything. Not leather, not cloth, not even valcro.

I have only used it on silver and gold so far with great results. Maybe try a small amount on the clasp and see what happens?

Jose, you asked if Xzilon can protect leather. I haven't tried it. But my guess is that it will. I'd put it on an old piece of leather first or on a part of a leather product that can't be seen. Then wait a couple days. It could change the color or cause some sort of damage you don't want. I was pleasantly surprised when I applied Xzilon to my Subaru. The rubber around the windows and the black rack on top seemed to absorb it without changing the texture at all. No new shininess or discoloring. Let me know what you discover.

It a tough question to answer as it will depend on type of material. It works amazing on leather, but as far as mane made material it has a very different content every time so its truly hard to tell.

I use anything soft like cotton rags or old washcloths and squirt the conditioner onto the rag, vice onto the leather. Then, just rub it onto the leather in circular or back and forth motion. It is actually very forgiving to apply and even if the leather looks 'wet' or darker and gets streaky why applying, it all evens out as it is absorbed and dries in. I rub hard to work it into and and really get into the crevices and seams on our furniture and car upholstery. When first applied, it looks like shiny, sticky honey, so don't freak out. It does not dry shiny nor sticky. Depending on the type of leather and the condition and temperatures, give it at least an hour or two to soak in. If you have older leather that has never been conditioned, think of it like skin that gets dried out-- literally and figuratively. It may take 2 or 3 applications to get it rehydrated. Applying it liberally the first time or two on our antique pieces seemed to work best. Also, this only works on REAL leather! Not patent leather, not pleather, not vinyls.

I've never tried it on leather. You might test it on an old pair of shoes, or on the underside of a cushion.

I don't know why it wouldn't. It's good for any leather as long as it's not buckskin.

Yes. If the leather is shiny and textured it will be perfect, think croc print or similar. If the leather is suede then this will darken the suede a bit.

I can't honestly answer your question. I am disappointed because the seller get off the hook when they say ...try it on a small area. The product dont seem to put a shine or gloss on the leather.

I was hesitant, but I used it on a $3000.00 Nieman Marcus leather jacket. It turned out fine. Later, I used it to remove barbecue sause stain. It did fine. This was very fine, soft, smooth leather.

I see on the bottle it specifically says to NOT use it on "suede, roughout or napped leathers" - but I also see Bick's has their own separate suede and nubuck cleaner. Good luck!

Since nubuck leather is somewhat akin to suede I'd say no. I am confident that it would condition and preserve the leather since nubuck is top grain cowhide but it would probably ruin the "suede" appearance. Search here on Amazon for nubuck cleaners and conditioners, I found a few.
