>>> I don’t know the type of leather so I need identification help
The leather finishes type is either “semi-aniline” or “pigmented”.
1- Show pictures of the reverse suede side to see its color - if it has the same shade or range as the front, then it is semi-aniline.
2- Show picture of the unused side to compare the degree of fading.
>>> as well as the process please.
The recommend process for this leather is as follows:
1- Restorative Cleaning with Prep-7.7 > Clean-3.8 > Rinse-3.0 system.
This restorative cleaning removes most of accumulated soiling and after inspection, will determine any other specialize stain removal will be required example - dye transfer or ink would require other product system.
2- Degreasing with Degreaser-2.2 > Acidifier-2.0 system.
Degreasing is highly recommended to body oil, grease and sweat exposed areas if color refinishing is considered.
3- Leather Rejuvenating with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system
Leather structure thickness rejuvenating reduces unnatural creases and wrinkles and increases leather suppleness.

4- Repairs with Stucco-90 > Bond-3D > Micro-54 > MicroTop-54S system.

5- Color restoration or refinishing with Adhesor-73 > Micro-54 > MicroTop-54S > Protector-B/B+ system.
