Pigmented-Twotone: How to Restore Color Loss due to Over Zealous Cleaning… on an Aniline Leather Chair?
Hello!
I purchased this used aniline leather chair in good condition.
I noticed a small spot on the back of the chair (where one might rest one's head) and decided to clean it with "Cavalier Leather Balm - conditions and renews fine leathers"....
Before I realized what I was doing - which was obviously incorrect - I had made a large round area that is distinctly lighter than the rest of the chair (please see picture).
The area I treated feels soft and supple while the rest of the chair feel waxy and slick.
It appears to me that I have lifted the protective coating that was applied to the chair.
I hope to be able to treat just this area and avoid treating the entire chair.
More pictures are available.
And of course suggestions are welcome!
FYI the leather balm I used is in the trash!
Thanks.
Dave
