■ Aniline Leather Dye Transfer Stain Removal System
Common dye stains are from blue jeans, newsprint and dyed goods. Most of these leathers are absorbent and in most cases the suspended stains is easily reabsorbed into the leather than can be towel extracted entirely. Complete removal of these reabsorbed residual dyes may require a hydrating process to disperse and wicks them. The technique is to place absorbent tissue paper as an extension of the leather surface to trap these fugitive dyes in the wicking process. Fatliquoring to soften and strengthen the leather after complete stain removal is highly recommended. Topcoat refinishing is an option found in Kit A3.dr. Note: Stains that have been attempted by unknown products may be set tougher to remove. It’s also recommended to use tap water wet finger test for tackiness or sliminess. If it is, acidifying it with Acidifier-2.0 found in Kit A3.ts to return the leather to a squeaky feel is highly recommended prior to Prep-4.4 application.

Topcoat Refinishing System
The objective of the topcoat is to impart a film forming coating that provides abrasion and stain resistance to the aniline leather crust. It is this Topcoat-79G that decides its desired luster. Without this topcoat, the aniline leather crust would be: a) poor in aesthetics such as appearance and feel; b) poor physical properties such as wet rub, sweat resistant and scuff resistant; c) poor in ageing properties such as soil resistant and wet cleaning resistant. To improve appearance for faded leathers, reactivating the dormant dyestuff to resurface with Hydrator-3.3 is often an option worth trying before resorting to dye refinishing. Topcoat will enhance the beauty of the leather crust, thus it’s a good practice to test out a little line along the seam on how the appearance will turn out. It is after the appearance test out that the need to apply new dyestuff is decided.
Instructions:
1] It is recommended that the leather surface is free from foreign soiling prior to topcoat touch-up or refinishing.
2] Touch-up is applicable where a healthy topcoat is physically damaged by working in conjunction with fine sanding in between dry coats for an even appearance.
3] Used, worn and deteriorated topcoat damages are recommended to be stripped clean of the entire panel prior to topcoat refinishing.
4] Sanding is recommended progressively in between coatings rather than on the leather crust itself, as the crust becomes coarser the more it is sanded.
5] Test out a little line along the seam with a cotton swab to see how much the color can be bounced back.
6] Option to increase the color intensity is to use matching transparent Aniline Dye-21. It is best done by airbrushing as color intensity is increase by layers. Do not over do it as the color intensity will be magnified with topcoat.
7] First topcoat is recommended to be applied with lint-free towel or by brushing for better anchorage to the leather crust.
8] Subsequent coating can be airbrush to avoid streaks to the desired appearance.
9] When dry with satisfaction, non-stick rub resistant protects the seats with leather Scent-B.
