Fantastic item. 5 stars are not high enough. I've had great results renovating an old leather handbag that had cracked from years of use. I also changed the color of the other wallet, which also had great results. I used a microfiber cloth to apply and polish. No signs of wear, streaks or chafing after applying a protective cream. I also received a skin care kit with a cleansing and protective cream. The key is to use it on natural leather, clean it and let it dry before applying the balm. Then polish carefully and apply a protective agent.
