Gents,
I've got my first tub of Pecard's coming in to treat a RMNZ jacket that's about 5 years old and starting to feel a bit dry after time in the desert. The website says:
The 'while leather is still damp' part has me wondering. Do most folks use it dry, or while damp? I'm not too sure about the 'nice shine' part either, at least with an A2.
What's the best practice when treating a modern reproduction A2?
Cheers,

I've got my first tub of Pecard's coming in to treat a RMNZ jacket that's about 5 years old and starting to feel a bit dry after time in the desert. The website says:
How to apply: First clean the leather article by wiping it down with a sponge and clean water. You don't need a cleaner unless there is obvious discolorations in the leather. We recommend using a pH neutral cleaner. While the leather is still damp, use a soft lint-free cloth, apply a small amount of dressing to the leather. Use a circular motion to work the dressing into the fibers. Be careful if you have flaking! Continue to do this to all the leather parts of the article. There should only be a sheen on the surface of the leather after working the dressing in. Buff vigorously all areas with a clean cloth to melt the surface waxes to a nice shine.
