Protective powder on leather

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth or use a clear wax polish to remove the powder. This is a normal protective coating.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner and then polish with a matching or clear shoe polish to restore moisture and shine.
