Caring your leather n fabric accessories

I came across this product; Kiwi Protect-All in a magazine. It was recommended for caring your leather n fabric accessories. As I read on, I notice it is quite similar to a certain product being shown on the popular taiwan show. In the show, the owner show us how to take care for yr branded items...hehahhaha like gucci, channel..
maybe i will give it a try on my loved leather products.. help to keep their lifespan longer...hehahahha

KIWI Protect-All provides water and stain protection for fine leather and fabric shoes especially suede, while still allowing leather and fabrics to breath. Water and stains stay on the surface, where they can be easily wiped away. It also repels water and stains from hats, jackets, raincoats, skiing wear, and other clothing. For use on all dry clean-only materials. Good for all colors of leather and fabrics. It comes in a red can with a black color cover; claims to gives protection everyday against stains and water, cost slightly under $5.00 at WalMart.
This product has a smell that isn't so pleasant but it fade away when it dries. For safety measure; test it on a small unseen area of yr item to ensure the product won't damage yr accessories. Wait a few days to test out the product (if you have time; a week) to see if there's any bad reaction. Before using this product, ensure the item is cleaned first so that the product would cling better n perform well. Just hold it 6-8 inches away from your leather shoe and spray. Make sure to be in a well ventilated area and keep shoes and the product away from any flames. After applying a coat to the shoes, allow them to dry for at least 3 hours before wearing. For newer shoes, Kiwi suggest applying another coat and allowing to dry before using.
Review: Protect-all will help with stains by preventing dirt from building on. There is going to be some wiping with a cloth involved when the shoes become dirty. However , it does not make the shoe waterproof. It did protect the leather from whithering due to the water being repelled from settling in. Overall for the cost and effectiveness, this product isn't a bad idea to help protect shoes. It won't keep them spotless but it does help protect.
