Couple weeks ago I had a disaster using Lexol leather cleaner (the stuff in orange spray) to "clean" my ELC 1401 collar. Needless to say I was dumb and too lazy to try it on an inconspicious spot and lightly wiped the collar with the cream on cotton cloth. Lexol cleaner did remove some of the dark smudges, but it ALSO dulled the beautiful pantina. The collar is now darker than the rest of the jacket. If I had a third leg I'd kick myself in the butt for doing it.
Gary @ Eastman thwarted my thoughts about commiting hari kari after seeing my pics. Told me it just looked "worn" and not to replace or re-dye the collar. The rest of the jacket would catch up. If you are thinking about using Lexol, test it first. I learned my lesson.
One life, one jacket...saved. :roll:
