I've got a pair of Iced Mocha Chromexel Service Boots and they need a little TLC. What is the standard care for boots like these? Conditioners, cleaners, wax? Is Saphir Renovator a go-to? Sorry if this is an annoying posts that people drop in the thread from time to time.

Bick 4 or VSC for CXL. Just brush and condition.

Any thoughts on this chart? I also have a pair of CXL boots coming in that will need some work, and I’m interested to see how the Saphir oiled leather cream will perform.

I don't like this chart since it's him just marketing products he sells. I wouldn't waste my time on a saphir product for CXL. Its a leather that barely needs anything, just use bick 4 or VSC if you want a bit of shine. I use Ashland's Tanners Blend for restoration on older (like 5+ years no conditioning) CXL, but general care I wouldn't use anything besides bick 4 or VSC.
