i have these 3 items and personally i feel that LP and Oil will be good enough. i havent try the watershield on leather yet. only used it on my manhattan portage back to waterproof it (its almost 5-6 years old and the wax is worn off)

last time i dunno, i apply LP first then oil. end up can see the oil not getting absorbed. lol

now i will apply oil first then LP. better protection imho

thank you!!

got another question... might seem a little silly.
1) apply on the shiny and smooth surface a thin layer? or multiple thin layers?
2) same as number 1, but apply on both sides.

3)or dip into the product and dry it o.o
