Why patent leather needs different care

Patent leather has a sealed, high-gloss top layer and therefore behaves differently from smooth leather. Without the right care, the material can dry out, causing it to lose its shine and eventually show signs of cracking or crazing.

Regular care with a product specifically developed for patent leather keeps the material supple and helps prevent early signs of wear. This keeps the patent leather looking sleek, shiny and well cared for for longer.

Suitable for

• Patent leather boots
• Patent leather nosebands
• High gloss caps
• Other patent leather equestrian items
• Other patent leather accessories

Instructions for use: caring for patent leather in 2 steps

For a complete result, follow two steps to clean, nourish and shine your patent leather. This gives your patent leather boots everything they need: a thorough clean, nourishment and protection, and a deep, luxurious shine.

Step 1 – Cleaning
First clean the patent leather with the Van Doorn Exclusief Derma Leather Cleaner to remove dirt and dust. Do not use water: water can leave limescale marks on the patent leather. Also avoid using a brush: patent leather boots are prone to scratching, so always clean with a soft cloth or sponge instead of a brush.

Step 2 – Nourishing & protecting
After cleaning, always apply a small amount of No.1 Royal Patent Shine – Care & Protection to a clean cloth and spread it evenly over the patent leather. Let it absorb briefly, then buff it out for a beautiful, glossy result: a deep, even high gloss.

For a quick touch-up between full care routines, use the No.2 Royal Patent Spray. This spray removes light residue, refreshes the shine, and helps keep patent leather easily in good condition. Use No.2 when the patent leather becomes duller or lightly soiled. This instantly restores the shine and keeps the patent leather in top condition — ideal for quick maintenance, for example before a competition.

Specifically caring for a high gloss cap? For quick and efficient cleaning between care routines, you can also choose the Van Doorn Exclusief High Gloss Capspray, specially developed for the maintenance of high gloss caps.

Prefer everything in one go? The Royal Patent Shine Set

The Royal Patent Shine Set consists of all three products and offers complete care in three steps: cleaning, nourishing and shining. The set has been specially developed for patent leather and is ideal for both daily use and competitions.

The set includes:

• Van Doorn Exclusief Derma Leather Cleaner
• Royal Patent Shine No.1 – Care & Protection
• Royal Patent Spray No.2 – Care & Shine

Our care advice

Clean the patent leather with the Derma Leather Cleaner whenever it's visibly dirty, and then reapply the No.1 Royal Patent Shine each time to nourish and protect the material. Use the No.2 Royal Patent Spray for light maintenance in between full care routines.

This keeps your patent leather healthy, supple and protected for the long term, with a well-cared-for appearance that retains its shine.

Not suitable for regular smooth leather

The No.1 Royal Patent Shine – Care & Protection is specifically developed for patent leather and is not intended for regular smooth leather. For saddles, bridles and other smooth leather products, we recommend the Van Doorn Exclusief Derma Leather System: the Derma Leather Cleaner, Conditioner and (PU) Protection.
