Bick 4 Leather Conditioner and Leather Cleaner 8 oz – Will Not Darken Leather – Safe For All Colors of Leather Apparel, Furniture, Jackets, Shoes, Auto Interiors, Bags & All… by Bickmore

I’ve been looking for a quality leather conditioner, especially for some of my lighter-colored boots and bags, and the Bick 4 2 oz. bottle was the perfect size to try out.

My Experience
I put this product to the test on three different leather items to see how well it worked:

A pair of old, light tan leather boots that were looking really dry and had some scratches.

An older, dark brown leather wallet that needed a good conditioning treatment.

A white leather handbag that had picked up a few minor smudges from daily use.

How I Used It
The 2 oz. bottle is small and easy to manage, which made the process clean and simple. The liquid itself is thin, like a light lotion, so it soaks in nicely.

I gave the bottle a good shake, just like the directions say.

I poured some onto a clean, white cloth and rubbed it into all three items, making sure to cover the entire surface.

I let it sit for about 15 minutes to fully absorb.

Finally, I took a second, clean cloth and buffed the leather to finish it off.

The Results (Why I Love It)
No Color Change (Huge Win!): This was my biggest concern, especially with the light tan boots, and it passed with flying colors. The leather’s color stayed exactly the same, it just looked richer and much more hydrated. If you have light or colored leather, this is a lifesaver.

A Little Cleaning Action: It did a surprisingly good job of getting rid of the light surface dirt and the minor scuffs on the white bag. If you have really heavy dirt, you’d probably need a dedicated cleaner, but for regular upkeep, this is all you need.

Soft and Supple: The dry boots immediately felt much softer and more flexible—it really restored the moisture to the leather fibers. The old wallet feels supple again, instead of stiff.

Perfect Finish: It dries to a natural look. It’s not overly shiny or greasy at all, and there was definitely no sticky residue, which is something I’ve dealt with using other brands.

Final Takeaway
If you need a reliable product for your smooth finished leather and you want to be 100% sure it won’t change the color or leave a waxy buildup, look no further than Bick 4. The little 2 oz. bottle is a great way to start, and it truly is an excellent all-in-one product for keeping your leather looking its best. Highly recommend!

Brought My Leather Back to Life – Amazing Results!

I used this cleaner and conditioner on my leather shoes and an older leather bag that had been sitting in the closet for a long time. The difference is incredible! It cleaned them up perfectly, made the leather soft and supple again, and added a beautiful, natural shine without feeling greasy or changing the color. It honestly made them look almost new again. Great product and definitely worth keeping on hand for all your leather care needs!

I like leather products, and I like to take care of my stuff, so the right leather care product is critical. I’ve used a great many over the years and have settled on two as being clearly superior: Bick 4 and Leather Honey (Leather Honey Leather Conditioner, the Best Leather Conditioner 8oz Bottle). They are quite different from each other.

Bick 4: I’m pretty sure this stuff is what North Beach Leather used to sell under their own name. It is a lanolin/oil lotion that really works. I use it bare handed, and my skin feels soft and good afterwards. It doesn’t darken leather, and it cleans as it works if I wipe it up before it is all soaked in. I’ve used it on my wife’s old Chanel purse, an Armani jacket, and some Coach gloves. In every case, it did exactly what I wanted, making the leather softer, more suppler, and feel great. It is easy to wipe Bick 4 off of areas it is unwanted, like plastic or metal.

Leather Honey: Leather Honey has a unique effect, making leather somehow feel denser and more hydrated. It is hard to explain, but it is very different than the effect of more lotion-like products, and I’ve tried a lot of them. On my favorite ten-year-old leather jacket from North Beach Leather, Leather Honey soaked in quickly in certain spots, and I added some more. After two hours, there was nothing to wipe away. The already heavy jacket feels heavier, better, and the results have proven to hold up and add more rain resistance. A new black leather feels more supple. A pair of black Ferragamos appear less abraded at the toe. Brown Sebago deck shoes certainly got more supple and soaked in a lot. The color darkened.

That brings me to the three small caveats: 1) Leather Honey is not a cleaner. Since it isn’t water-based like lotion products, dirt stays. For example, on the Sebagos, an area that was a bit dirty was just the same, but the leather under it was clearly treated. 2) Leather Honey doesn’t evaporate on plastics and rubbers, nor does it wipe off that easily. A day after treating the Sebagos, the soles still had Leather Honey on them, now somewhat sticky. Obviously I should have done a better job of wiping. 3) Leather honey can and will darken some light leathers.

Which one should you use?

I use Bick 4 for thinner leathers, or ones for which darkening would be a problem, or if I’m trying to clean and condition in one step. If the words that come to mind with the leather you’re treating are “soft,” “buttery,” or “thin,” then use Bick 4. Its effect won’t last as long as Leather Honey’s, but it works, and it works beautifully, doing just what you want a leather conditioner to do.

I use Leather Honey for thick leathers that I want to feel more like high quality leather. Think cow hide over lamb skin. I make sure the leather is clean, and use Leather Honey if water resistance is important. I use Leather Honey if the leather is really bad, because it does more than the Bick 4. I use it when some darkening wouldn’t be a problem. Leather Honey makes all leather more, er, leathery, and I mean that in a good way.
