Renovator 50ml Jar with Polishing Cloth

For 3 years now I have been using Saphir Renovateur for my Red Wing (all natural leather) Iron Ranger boots (in Copper Rough and Tough). My only regret is that I didn’t discover and so use it sooner. Firstly, this is a colourless cream, and it certainly has a neutral effect, so if colour is what you wish to alter then this cream will be ineffective for you. Otherwise, if you’re new to leather care, or concerned about ruining your leather’s natural dye or appearance, then I want to reassure you at once, that this product is safe. By applying it, copiously or sparingly, you will surely not affect the intrinsic colour of your leather skin, be it boot, bag or belt. No indeed, this is a gentle and friendly cream. Though, if you should notice a difference in appearance then it’ll rather be in value and vibrancy, with the final result being a far richer and slightly darker tone. (All leather will darken with moisture content, this is unavoidable and has nothing to do with a change in colour.) Watch intently as you apply your first layer of cream, consider how well it absorbs upon the surface: nourishing, cleansing, and working from within to make your leather feel healthy, supple, and moist. There is pleasure to be had as you go on feeding new life and strength into your leather. With this product you are not only increasing your leather’s strength and resilience, but, equally, you are relaxing and relieving it of any stress and tension built up through ware and tear. This would be particularly true if your leather, like mine, is a smooth skin, and coloured copper or bronze; true enough, if left alone after a soapy scrub, like mine it’ll dry a crispy, sandy, burnt beige. (Just see the contrast from the pictures I’ve attached). (When I first got my boots, I left it 6-9 months before oiling or any care, until I noticed splitting and flaking on the sides of the boot. I thought this was how natural leather ages over time. But no sooner did I learn online, that I realised I should be oiling, than I turned to my saving grace…Saphir’s Renovateur, because it worked so perfectly to restore my boots to their original glory). Anyhow, once you’ve used the Saphir Renovateur you may wish to add some added sheen by polishing. Try yourself a few minutes of brushing back and forth with a fine horse hair or polisher cloth. And to your pleasure this cream will even enhance the degree of glow and reflection. Just see my short video time-lapse, which I’ve attached, and you can judge for yourself! Overall, for almost £10, this is an excellent choice and a fantastic product, an effortless and highly effective cream - it even smells nice - while it leaves behind you a clean and pleasant aroma, which refreshes not just the body but the soul. You will not be disappointed.

This stuff is quality for quality shoes.. instant creamy care and sustenance and nourishment for my Gucci loafers , Prada driving shoes and top-notch tan English lace-up brogues .. the better the shoe and the leather the better this stuff is! Wouldn't be without it now. Part of my shoe care regime.... I know I like BMW convertible sports cars and fountain pens and nice shoes... Quality product .. I have nothing bad to say about this product in any way.. it goes on easy to use has immediate effect and long-lasting deep ongoing effect and looking after your shoes.... I will never be without it.. it is simply a great find. All my shoes love it! : )) Very impressed with this brand as a whole.. this is one of their better products. My shoes are nearly all Italian and English. My cars are German and my shoe polish and creams are French. It makes sense.

Great product, leaves my shoes looking like new

It works perfectly with leather, it's a very good finishing touch after dyeing your projects and also a fantastic refreshener for your weathered leather hat, belt etc. The only downside is the cloth that it comes with, it has a very short life and leaves fluff on the leather, wears easily and crisps up after the first use, so better get an old t-shirt or pure cotton fabric for applying this product on leather.

Got a few pairs of greasy boots I've been applying mink oil to, thought I'd give this stuff a go as I've almost run out of the bottle of mink oil I got a few years back. This Saphir stuff is much neater to apply, the applicator you get tends to shed quite a bit but if you buff up with a second clean cotton rag the shoes come out spotless. The renovateur works really well with scuffs, they end up blending in with the rest of the boot without having to apply any kind of dye or polish, and you get a nice consistent finish. I can't stop staring at my boots now!

Excellent product
