 Suede leathers are not meant to be protected using an oil-based product. In fact, when you buy suede shoes, the manufacturer only supplies a small stiff hair brush that is meant to be used to "lift" the dirt and "comb" the grain. Oscar is right.

Tazman64 is also correct. For exotic leathers, there's a special product out there available. I think KIWI sells them and so does Turtle Wax, in their consumer, non-auto line.

In my opinion, suede is meant to be scuffed and smoothed out and also meant to have bald spots. This distinction gives it the character it is meant to amplify.
