Nubuck - Sofa and Love seat

[Outlaw]

Hello Roger and All,

My first post and naturally with a need for your help. I have these two Nubuck pieces of furniture that we recently acquired for next to nothing. They show a lot of potential and the Mocha color fits our taste perfectly for this particular room.

I was out of town and my wife had found some leather conditioner that she tried and it turned it(one cushion) a light brown in the cleaning process. Now I'm in town and have taken over the project. I would mention the product Leatherique will darken your leather if it's a lighter color and it also made the leather stiffer than the cushion next to it. Please excuse me as I'm not here to bash another product but she found no warning of such issues before hand. A polite warning to others.

Onto current events I am hoping with your expertize you(Roger) can point me the right direction to better turn this set into it's original beauty. Attached are some pics of the set and also one of the Leatherique debacle. I also have a picture of a nail head that is missing, if anyone can point me the right direction to find it I would like to pick a couple up as well. I am a handy man capable of destroying just about anything you put in front of me, just so you know what I'm capable of.

>>> the Leatherique debacle

You may show us the reverse suede if the oil have gone through the other side.

How much have you applied and this amount need to be removed as the first phase with Degreaser-2.2 > Acidifier-2.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system.

As the pic shows in fact it does make it through. The process used a saturation with the oil and heat to help penetrate the soiled leather. There is one corner that is somewhat light so my hope is that it can be revived.

My wife had applied about 6 ounces.

If you would please suggest what is needed to clean up the other soiled Nubuck and I will order all of it at one time. I apologize for the delay in my reply as I work out of town and just made it home last night. Thanks again for your patience and your help.

Other soiling if any has to be identified and removed according to the procedure recommended from this Nubuck Problem Solving Guide.
Removing the Leatherique unwanted non-compatible oil under ‘Stain Type’ from the guide is by row#7. The number denotes the sequence of process and the top row are the recommended products used. With this in mind the products mentioned are found in this Kit-N5.dr. Other stains are combined removed altogether accordingly during this stain removal phase-1 before rejuvenating the leather structure with the Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system as the next phase-2

Excellent Roger, I'll get things in motion on my end.

Thank You so much!!!!

Logically you need more than 6 oz of Degreaser-2.2 to overcome or emulsify the unwanted oil follows with equivalent of Acidifier-2.0 > Hydrator-3.3?

Does my recommendation make sense?
