Yes!What an informative and hilarious thread
I have a whole list of questions for Monitor, none of which I think are appropriate for the TFL...

I think it only affect if some day you want to re dye the leather, silicone layer would be very hard to get rid completely off, and so dye will never really worksI can't imagine why would silicone be bad for the leather. Seems like the internet just went on one day about how silicone clogs up the pores so that leather can't breathe anymore but I'm not buying that. I've been using it for a long while now and I've noticed no ill effects from it, other than the fact that it genuinely works in conditioning the leather. Silicone won't dry out or disappear so it stays in the fibers forever and anything that prevents fibers from drying out and cracking can't be bad.
Since I worked in an adult store for five years, we'd often get tons of silicone lubricants for free and so I began using this one called Uberlube on leather which, as the site says, works on just about anything needing lubrication. Been conditioning my shoes with it for years, namely my Chippewas and they're still perfect. I use for my bicycle chain, too. Works like a charm.
tl;dr, I don't think it's bad for leather. Or rather, I don't see how it'd be bad for leather.
Yes!

Mods, I would suggest to sticky this thread. The conditioner and adult lubes questions come up so often from newbies and old hands alike that it would be a great resource to have, uh, handy.
I have the link to this thread stored so that I can easily retrieve it when the question is presented in the future. I agree it is a valuable resource, but if I put a sticky on all of these valuable resource threads, the first page would be full of stickies. So, by putting the threads in storage, I can retrieve them when needed.Mods, I would suggest to sticky this thread.

Here is a interesting product, it sprays a thin coat and makes leather shiny.

There is a video about using this product on finished leather, it makes leather MUCH shiner than before, I am not sure if the shiny coating will damage my LW.I use Renaissance wax to help fight off verdigris. Not sure how similar it is to this but it doesn’t maintain its shininess for long. It does provide an invisible protective layer though. I’m interested to hear if this works. In my experience, stuff like Mr. Leather, a cleaner-conditioner combo, makes & keeps LW leather a bit shinier.

No, it's fiebing leather sheen.Renaissance? It does not stay shiny. But I only use it around snaps or eyelets. Never a very a large area.
