About Leather Polish Use our water-based Leather Polish to impart a super silky, glossy shine to all leather items. In doing so, it will enhance, enrich and deepen the colour of any leather while adding a protective barrier that helps repel liquids, dirt and stains. Leather Polish can be used on all leathers to enhance the leather’s shine. It is particularly good for two-tone style leathers (such as Chesterfield sofas) where one application enhances the richness of the colour, creating a warm, natural, lustrous shine.
