Have this great designer clutch in a python skin. As seen in photo the skin has blotched over time into a dark brownish color. I want to remove those blotches and restore the clutch to it's natural color. I am not sure if I need to dye the python or if there is another way to correct this.
I need help! and need to know where to buy the products I am located in Florida.
Thanks so much!

What’s the cause of the problem?
If it is due to prolong body contact from a combination of oil, grease and sweat that oxidized…
The solution may be as follows:
1] Degreaser-2.2 > Rinse-3.0 – system of degreasing to remove body oil, grease and sweat contamination.
2] d’Tarnish-1.3 – treatment to reduce the oxidized browning effect.
3] d’Yellow-6.7 – treatment to enhance a brightening effect making it look less yellow by increasing the overall amount of blue light reflected.
Leather Rejuvenating
1] Hydrator-3.3 - to relax the scales prior to fatliquor it.
2] Fatliquor-5.0 – to return the leather to its original softness and suppleness.
Leather Non-stick Rub Resistant Protection
1] Leather Scent-D for its non-slip grip.
