How to Choose the Right Saphir Product

Wax Polish

Wax polish is for shine and protection. You layer this onto your leather through build up, using a cloth and a shine brush. The more you later the shiny and more 'protected' your leather will be.

Cream Polish

Cream Polish is for color replenishment and leather rejuvenation. You apply this with an applicator brush to enhance the color of your leather. Cream polish will also give you a light shine with the use of a shine brush.

Conditioners

Conditioners, such as Crème Universelle and Renovateur, are used to replenish/hydrate your leather from regular wear and tear. Think of a conditioner as a lotion to your dry skin. The conditioners go hand-in-hand with the polishes to counteract any drying out effects they might cause. Always apply before your polish treatment and brush off with a shine brush.
