The diminishing of the prints is mainly caused by friction rubs.
To reduce such problem is to have it protected with a rub resistant protector; and for this “Simulated Leather”, a natural smooth buttery-feel with Leather Scent-B after the color print restoration is recommended.
The sequence of process is as follows:
1] Color matching comes first with Leather Color Matching Training Kit-CM7. Since the prints are opaque use the Micro Pigment-54 for your test out. However, the actual product to use is Pigment-64 instead for easier coverage to match the present prints. Question is do you want to add the Pigment-64 range to your order? Once you have the confident to get the right color, proceeds with the restorative cleaning; otherwise if you are unable to you may be stuck.
2] Restorative cleaning the entire “simulated leather” surface areas with Prep-7.7 > Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0.
The objective is to remove foreign contamination; however deteriorated prints may be removed at the same time. So you may see more missing prints. Make sure you have the confident to match-up with these colors before you start your restorative cleaning. You may want to trace out the position of the faint print prior to cleaning it, just in case you may want the exact position to replicate the pattern design.
2] To reprint use these sequence of steps: Adhesor-73 > Pigment-64 + Thickener-48 > Topcoat-56 > Leather Scent-B
