Long-Lasting Polish

[Vianeth]

A leather expert I have been talking to suggested I use polish, instead of a coating (such as SaddleLac spray) which can crackle. I've used Kiwi Shoe Polish, and I can get a nice little shine out of it, but is there something that "sticks" better that contains wax and is hard to rub off with wear?

I make leather armor (costuming) and I color it with acyrlic paints and antique finish and I'm in search of a professional quality polish as a final layer. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!

Thanks- Alicia

Take a look at Renaissance Wax. It can be used on wood, metal and leather to give a protective coating that does not crack with age. There's more information about it at http://www.thepolish...issancewax.html, and small quantities can be bought on eBay.

I use it on cast-brass and nickel buckles, and find that it prevents polished metal from tarnishing.

Thank you for the recommendation, i'll purchase some on ebay and test!
