I use Eagle One leather care, and it's done a great job for me over the years. I've never really had to use a product to bring back leather, just maintain it, so not sure how it would be and bringing something that's wore back. I've used neats foot before, I think my Lexol or something, but never cared for it. I found it made dark leather spot easy if it got any water on it. Just my experience.
