>>> I also suspect my leather is a little thirsty too.
When leather is dried off its original fatliquor (fat and oil) dry-rotting begins, and the leather grain weakens and easily exfoliates, like the shedding of dead skin cells. The exterior leather grain easily peels off with the weight of the leather finishes. Hydrating and fatliquoring with the original tannery system will rejuvenate the dried leather back to tensile strength with Hydrator 3.3 and Fatliquor 5.0 system.
>>> I recently used a leather condition and it looked great for about a day and it’s drying out again.
Restoration Hardware wax pull-up leathers use two conditioners, the primary conditioner is similar to ionic negative (-ve) charged leather Fatliquor 5.0, and the secondary condition is similar to Aniline Leather Wax Pull Up 8.6, which gives the characteristic wax pull-up effect.
My recommendation for this simple repair with a matching product is as follows:
Step 1 - Prep Cleaning with Prep 4.4
Step 2 - Clean with Cleaner 3.8
Step 3 - Rinse with Rinse 3.0
Step 4 - Hydrate with Hydrator 3.3
Step 5 - Fatliquor with Fatliquor 5.0
Step 6 - Condition with Wax Pull-up 8.6
Step 7 - Repair with Glue 3D
Step 8 - Protect with Protector D
