10 yrs old Connolly Hide Care Conditioner

[opass]

Found a 10 years old leather conditioner, Connolly Hide Care Conditioner, in my garage. Back those days, it was selling for $12.95 at Lexus dealership. Almost a full can, however, the ingredient has been seperated during the storage. Can I still use it?

The usual usable shelf life for a leather conditioner is three (3) years providing they have not been subjected to extremes of temperatures (i.e. 32oF< or > 95oF

On the shelf life for Leatherique when I was reading their website, I could have sworn they said it had an indefinite shelf life

I`ve used some mighty aged leather treatments after stirring/shaking them up. But give it a sniff and make sure it hasn`t gone "gamey smelling" on you ;)

Well, looks like a difficult decision either dump it or use it bravely. It`s not about the $, just hate to waste the good stuff. :rolleyes:



If I remember, this leather conditioner even smell bad when NEW.



It is very thick.

I don`t know if this will help your decision or make it easier but Connolly Hide Food / Care is formulated for un-coated leather (Jag, MB Premium Leather, Aston Martin, and etc)it is not compatible with covered leather, I`m told (but have no first hand knowledge) that it will adversely effect the urethane covering
