    I then gave each sample the well known and time honoured 20 squeeze and bend treatment….

      And the only sample to suffer any significant damage was the one that had had no treatment…

        Next up was a good clean…

        They are still a bit damp here, tomorrow, I'll take another look….

          Your choice of "squeeze and bend" music was calming…

                  Ahahah what the hell is that music. I know it's premature but I gotta say I think LP is the winner…

                          This thread is the sort of thing that really sets Giles apart from other retailers.  Such a cool idea.  Thanks, G!

                            ^Amen to that! And I agree with Seul, LP for the win.

                              (looks like I'll be sticking with LP)

                                I think LP looks the best too, but olive oil is a close 2nd…

                                      +1 for LP. I think the olive oil looks good, but I'm not sold. Great results though. What a cool idea.

                                        I kinda dig the mustang paste. Nobody feeling it?

                                          I like the color of the mustang but I feel like the oils would be pretty amazing on leather that is actually being used.

                                          Also, were the pastes/waxes applied then hit with a heat gun? I know this was a fun experiment but I'm just wondering.
