Meltonian Shoe Cream

meltonian
Used by a LOT of bookish folk as a scratch cover this shoe ‘cream’ not polish is quite useful. Comes in a variety of colors of which half are browns. I find it works best after the leather has been treated with a cleaned like Lexol-ph or moisturized with leather dressing.  pH value = 7-8

from “Bringing New Life to Tired Tomes” by Robert
Colver (O.P. World magazine March 1998)
“Not shoe polish generically, but Meltonian by name. It already has a devout following among booksellers and an equally devout, if more clandestine, following among book repairers. Its advantages are many: It’s readily available at most good shoe-repair shops. It comes in an absolute palette of colors .There are a dozen or so variations on brown) which can even be mixed and blended like acrylic paints. It’s cheap and easy to use. It masks scuffs and evens out color without hiding old marbling pattens or grain patterns. It’s not a wax and leaves no sticky surface. From a conservation standpoint, it’s basically chemically benign. Not only is it not acidic, it’s slightly basic, which means it is actually buffering the leather.”
