How to restore this Ralph Lauren Tooled (waxed) Aniline sofa. It is only 5-6 years old. A few areas feel dry, it has 2 scratches, and it looks blotchy on the IS back where the client tried to condition it.
I would like to know how to proceed to repair the 2 scratches.
Then strip, clean, rinse, hydrate and fatliquor the leather.
And what is the best way to make it look uniform again?
Client is worried about the tooling going away, is there a concern with hydrating?
