>>> I have a red Python Chanel that needs to be shiny. How can I do that?
To restore a shine to your red Python Chanel bag, you simply need to apply a gloss topcoat to it.
>>> I have cleaned it well but it still looks flat.
Cleaning alone will not shine up, however, degreasing cleaning is the first step to remove greasy soiling that may interfere with the shine coat adhesion resulting in blotchiness or poor adhesion that wears out easily.
Any surface stain has to be removed too to even out the luster appearance, as this is a transparent coating, and the beauty and the ugly surface will all show through.
The second step is to rehydrate and recondition with fatliquor (fat and oil) so that the dry-scale curls lay flat.
