How to care for sude? Are there any suede conditioners?

Hey everyone,

I know I have seen suede cleaners on the market. And suede protectors. But I never see any suede conditioners.
 

I have a feeling:

Suede Cleaners -> Dry out suede (remove dirt with soap)
Suede Protectors -> Dry out suede (make suede waterproof with protective coating)

Suede Conditioners -> I cannot find on the open market.

I was almost thinking of taking some lexol and putting it into an spray bottle and seeing if that works without ruining the nap.

 

Any thoughts or am I missing something? Or does suede for some reason really never need conditioning?

Thanks for the reply. I tried using lexol  with an spray bottle on an pair of suede new balance 620's and it worked alright I just had to not touch the nap and the beads of conditioner soaked in pretty evenly.

I got some nicer suede from the local tandy leather factory so ill have to try that one and report back.

It really is amazing to me that no one has run into the conditioning suede problem before. If anyone else has a solution i would love to hear it.
