    There are 3 phases of restoration that includes:
    1. Restorative cleaning with Kit SA3
    2. Fluorescent Whitening with d’Yellow-6.7
    3. Refinishing with Pigment Micro-54 system.

    The appearance will definitely improve with the restorative cleaning relying on the Prep-7.7; that even the ballpoint ink mark at the base in picture #1 will be gone.
    The body contact areas show browning effect that may improve with d’Yellow-6.7 treatment.
    We will only know by the 2nd phase whether we need to resort to refinishing it.

    Thus the flow of processes to improve appearance may be as follows:

    1. If tap water test finger test indicate tackiness – it’s recommended to strengthen the finish with Acidifier-2.0
    2. The 3 steps of restorative cleaning – Prep-7.7 > Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0
    3. Reduce bleaching of the body contact yellow effect areas – treat with d’Tarnish-1.3
    4. Optical brightening effect treatment – use d’Yellow-6.7

    Optional Leather Structure Rejuvenating
    1. Hydrating to relax leather - Hydrator-3.3
    2. Soften and strengthen leather structure – Fatliquor-5.0

    Refinishing option
    1. Adhesion coating with – Adhesor-73
    2. Color matching with - Pigment Micro-54
    3. Topcoating with matching luster – Topcoat-72
    4. Non-stick rub resistant protector – Leather Scent-B

    So here are the products for phase 1 and 2.
