    Cherry Blossom Waxed Leather Oil. I use to help keep leather supple and also restore. Can be used on nubuck but will have the effect of removing the nubuck finish which means I can then treat the footwear as normal leather. Much easier to care for.

     Don't use every time and apply in thin layers, well buffed in. Then follow regular polish application. Used on shoes and walking boots.

    Leather shoes can be buffed up using the inside of banana skins.

    If they are nubuck then get a nail file and hold them over a steaming kettle and gently rub in circles with the nail file flat on the nubuck.
