I recently had this discussion what is the best thing to preserve leather with a shoe and leather repairman who has been in the business for about 50 years he recomended Lexoil which does contain some form of neatsfoot oil but I don't know how much, and said never put mink oil on anything you want to keep because the aminal fat in it casuses rotting. He also said Kiwi parade shoe polish is the best polish.I have used Lexoil since then. In the past I have used select silicone spray products, I say select because many contain to harsh of solvents; a good way to test is to spray some in a styrofoam cup and let it sit at leat 1 hour if it damages the cup don't use it.
