Cowboy boots: conditioner vs mink oil vs heavy duty LP.

Recommended Posts

What are the differences between all the creams/oild for leather?  I have conditioner, mink, and heavy lp. (I am new to leather, I was just trying all different things. Now I just don't know what I should stick to it if I could use multiple at once or just rotate every cleaning.)   Is it bad to use all different things at different times?   Should I stick to 1 thing? Rotate different things every time I clean?  

 

Also, I live in Az. It's hot and nothing but dirt. How often should i dry brush? Or should I use saddle soap? Of so how often? Just when they get muddy?  How often should i oil/condition? I know the general is no more than 1 condition every 2 weeks...?

Are they work boots, dress boots? Doing construction in the winter, and working around concrete and asphalt, I use Obenauf's twice a week. In my case, my work boots are the only thing I wear other than sandals or moccasins, so I have no "dress" shoes to worry about.

There are just too many factors involved to use a "set" procedure.
