Leather wallet care?

What is the best way to care for a patent leather wallet? I have a four to five year old, Ferragamo, black patent wallet that has looked great until recently. It is developing a small (about the size of a nickel) spot where the patent looks as though it is wearing away. What is the best way to care for, or restore such a wallet?

I tend, to agree. Vaseline is very good, on patent leather . . . you might try that.
