Bick 1 Leather Cleaner 8 oz - Clean Dirt, Oil, Sweat, Salt, and Water Stains from All Colored, White, and Black Leather

I Googled leather conditioners and cleaners then checked out reviews pf several products before using Bickmore products on the leather described below.I had old bottles of Bick1 and Bick4 that I used to use on boat shoes.While rummaging around in my basement I found an old heavy duty leather briefcase.The kind we used to see in old movies handcuffed to a Fed's wrist. It's made from very thickleather with a thick brown finish and heavy duty brass fittings. It was in fair shapeexcept for being very dry and the leather straps and corners of the case had some rough scuff marks and places where the finish had worn off. I was careful not to bend it too much because I was afraid it wasgoing to crack. The leather was very dry and brittleI first gently wiped off the heavy dirt andbasement crust with a slightly damp cloth (I know wiping leather with a damp cloth is a no no because it pulls natural oils from the leather. In case, most of the oils had alreadyleft the leather) Then cleaned the leather as directed on the Bick1 bottle. I had to work quickly because the Bick1 was sucked into the leather. Later that day I applied Bick4 as instructed. Again it was immediatelyabsorbed by the leather. I had to apply four applications of Bick4 before it stopped being immediately absorbed by the leather. The next day I buffed it with an old cotton tshirt.Bick restored the leather. It looks great even the beatup corners. The leather straps where they loop through the brass fittings still have bare leather where the finished wore off from use but overall thecase looks great, even the brass fittings maintained their nice patina.Ordered fresh containers of BIck1 & Bick4 from Amazon.Next, I decided to try Bick on an at least forty year old dyed green motorcycle jacket.The jacket was in very bad shape from a moderate case of road rash on the right side and all along the right sleeve. Other damage included the green finished being pulled away after racing stickers were removed.The jacket was filthy with asphalt streaks mixed in with the road rash.I carefully cleaned the jacket being careful around the road rash damage because the leather was very fragile (much thinner then the briefcase leather.) The carefully applied Bick4 as per Dicks directions.The jacket gratefully took three applications of Bick4 and could've taken more.The results are phenomenal. The leather is supple and most of the rich deep green color came back. Even the damaged leather looks good all things considered.I'm very satisified with Bick1 and Bick4.

Bought this for several pair of leather boots that needed conditioning. Works well and does not markedly darken leather after it drys. Make sure you shake well before you use it though.

keeps everything in good shape

it is overall a very good product, cleans well, shines the leather well, no problems. the only ting and this is literally only a problem for me and me alone is that it i very hard to spread and you have to use a lot more than expected.

My wife had some nice Cole Haan shoes of soft and smooth leather that had gotten water stained. She had recently gotten them and though they were functionally ok they looked, well, badly water stained! I suggested that I dye them darker to conceal the stain and she looked at me like I had plotted murder. I read the reviews and Bick leather cleaner seemed to get the most promising reviews. As most reviewers said, you do have to put some work into it since stains in light brown leather are stubborn but I followed the directions and also what other users had suggested and I used a slightly dampened white terry cloth wiper and it worked. The stains were nearly 100% eliminated. The cleaner has a light almost citrus scent and feels light and benign rather than greasy or heavy. Once her shoes were dry I conditioned them with Lexol conditioner because that's what I had but Bick has a conditioner which I believe is their #4 product and I'd have used that given my success with their cleaner product. Definitely give it a try, leather products are expensive, they're worth the care.

Very easy to use, cleans dirty leather easily. Great value for the money!! Almost no odor, safe to use. Performs perfectly!!! Highly recommend!!!

I used Bick 1 on my Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandoulière and I’m really happy with the results. It cleaned off dirt, light oil marks, and everyday buildup without darkening the leather or leaving any residue. The shine afterward was subtle but clean, and the leather looked refreshed without feeling stripped.Application was super easy. The bottle dispenses just the right amount, and I didn’t have any issues with leaking or mess. It’s very user-friendly, even if you’re new to cleaning leather. I just applied it with a soft cloth and wiped gently. No hard scrubbing or special tools needed.It’s a high-quality cleaner that feels safe to use on luxury leather, and it does exactly what it promises. For the price, the value is great. I’ll definitely keep using this for all my leather bags and accessories.

Product never made it. Had to cancel order . Gave three stars because I’ve used it before and it works great.
