Stoddard is proud to announce that we are now a stocking distributor for Obenauf’s Leather Oil. It’s a great product that helps older leather look its best. Made in the USA from a special formulation of beeswax and natural oils, it freshens older leather and keeps it from cracking further. It’s easy to apply. We treated the leather in all of our cars and have been very pleased with the results. It even works on other leather products, like shoes and belts.
You can purchase it in our online store.
After you’ve applied some oil with the dauber, you might also try rubbing the oil into the leather with your hands. It’s easier to work into the seams and corners that way. We’d probably recommend latex or nitrile gloves for this step.
After you’ve applied the Obenauf’s Leather Oil, let it sit overnight. Reapply to any areas that are cracked and let it absorb again. Finally, you can buff it to a nice, matte shine.
Once the leather is buffed, you can see how the finish is very uniform, soft and “healthier” than when you started. It does not fill in any cracks or bring back areas where the dye has worn away; it just helps keep the leather soft and supple so further damage is minimized.
