Waxed leather is a robust smooth leather or nubuck primed with waxes and oils. This process softens the leather and creates a scratch-sensitive finish, which quickly develops a unique vintage patina. Due to the nature of the waxy finish, a balsam is required to clean, restore and nourish the leather. Renapur leather Balsam is highly recommended. It goes a long way and is neutral in colour, so can be used on any colour waxy leather.
